To keep up-to-date on our activities, see our weekly updates below.
Saturday, Oct 3rd: For parents waiting, the bus for cadet gliding will return at 6:30pm.
Good day,
We will be conducting our regular training night on 2 Oct 26 at the Armoury. This week we will observe Truth and Reconciliation Day. Order of Dress will be FTU with an orange T-shirt.
This weekend will be our first gliding weekend of the year. Those who have signed up for 3 Oct or 4 Oct gliding must arrive at the Carlton St. Armoury no later than 0640hrs. The bus will not wait for late arrivals. Ensure your cadet brings a water bottle and snacks and has warm clothing appropriate for the cooler fall weather. The airfield can be particularly windy, so a coat, hat, and mittens are recommended.
This weekend, we will be continuing most of our Saturday activities, open to all cadets interested. See the list below for those activities and times.
Here is what we have planned for this weekend:
Marksmanship Saturday 1200-1400hrs
Flight sim Saturday 1200-1400hrs
Drill team Saturday 1400-1600hrs
Guard Saturday 1600-1700hrs
Band Sunday 1300–1500 hrs
Ground School Monday 1830-2100hrs
Capt. Diotte has asked that cadets return the Annual cadet information update (Annual Validation) on Friday, 2 Oct. This is only for those returning cadets and not for those who joined us this training year.
Reminder to parents/guardians to please arrive on time to pick up your cadet after training and weekend activities. Staff cannot leave until all cadets have been picked up and have been waiting, in some cases, in excess of 30 minutes after the activity has ended.
As our squadron is at or near capacity, with others waiting to join at various times throughout the year, we have decided to implement an attendance policy with a goal that the cadets who wish to be active with the squadron will be able to do so. With that said, any cadet missing 4 consecutive mandatory training nights WITHOUT prior written notification to squadron staff will be removed to make room for cadets waiting to join. To avoid this from happening to your Cadet, you must email staff in advance if your cadet will be absent from training.
For the safety of the cadets, please do not drop them off and drive away. Please ensure that they can actually get inside the building first. That way, we do not have cadets standing outside, in the weather, unsupervised. With regard to safety, I ask that NO vehicle drop-off or pick-up happen in the armoury parking lot. Please use Carleton St, in front of the library, for all drop off/pick up. Cadets will enter & exit the building via the side door on Carleton St.
