1733 - Oliver-Testalina-Osoyoos (BC Dragoons) Cadet Corps

After 1902, the strength and efficiency of Canada’s militia system improved somewhat with the return of veterans from the war in South Africa.   Then, a few years later, in April 1908, an independent squadron known as the Canadian Mounted Rifles (unofficially dubbed the Okanagan Mounted Rifles) was authorized for Vernon.  Later, in December 1911, the unit was granted authority to change its name from the Canadian Mounted Rifles to the 1st Regiment, B.C. Horse; the roots of the present day British Columbia Dragoons.  In 1912, the B.C. Horse became the 30th Regiment, B.C. Horse.

This Cadet Corps was formed 27 November 1940 and disbanded 30 June 1947.
