In May of 1906 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, an Army Cadet Corps for senior boys was authorized by the Charlottetown Board of School Trustees, to be known as Number 148 Queen Square School Army Cadet Corps. The first Chief Instructor was Principal James Landrigan, a distinguished marksman. Most succeeding Principals and male teachers became qualified cadet instructors to carry on the well established tradition. The Army Cadet Program offered a opportunity to promote leadership, citizenship, sportsmanship and esprit de corps within a school. This Corps was reportedly one of the best corps in Headquarters Area, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
