-The Strathcona Trust Medal The Strathcona Foundation was created in 1909. Lord Strathcona, High Commissioner for Canada in London at the time, was interested in improving physical conditioning and developing intellectual activity by encouraging self-discipline, citizenship, and patriotism among the youth to that end. He established the Foundation bearing his name. In 1923, the organization had a medal struck to be presented to the most meritorious cadet in each corps and squadron. The medal is the highest distinction that a cadet can earn for distinguishing himself among his peers and contributing personally to his community.
