In May of this year, Harvy Simkovits was among a group of retired cadets who, decades after their service to the BCS #2 Cadet Corps, received a medal from the Canadian government for their four to six years of service to the Canadian military. Here is Harvy receiving his medal for his five years of service, flanked by the recently retired Governor General of Canada, his wife who is a high-ranking officer in the Canadian Navy, and senior members of BCS’s current cadet corps.

Harvy wrote about his experiences at BCS and its cadet corps in his memoir, Just Lassen to Me! Here is a photo of Harvy in 1968, at fourteen years old, flanked by his brother (right) soon after the annual cadet parade at BCS. This photo also appears in the first volume of Harvy’s memoir.
