Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class D. Gritsak
Hello Haida!
My name is CPO2 Gritsak, and I am honoured to serve as your Cadet Coxswain for the 2025–2026 training year. I joined Haida in 2021, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing everything this corps has to offer, from drill and sailing to leadership and seamanship. Each of these experiences has challenged me, helped me grow, and shaped me into the leader I am today.
Haida is more than just a cadet corps, it’s a team and a community. It’s a place where every cadet has the chance to learn new skills, make lasting friendships, and push themselves to achieve more than they thought possible. The dedication and passion that each cadet brings to this program is what makes Haida truly exceptional.
I can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you and see all that you’ll accomplish here at the corps.
See you on Wednesday!
Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class
