CO’s Message

I hope everyone is nice and dry now after an especially wet Remembrance Day. Thanks to the cadets and staff that came out to show support towards the veterans within our community. Things are going to slow down a bit over the next couple of weeks. We do however have some activities coming up in December, which is not so far away.

COVID-19 Rules

Masks are no longer mandatory, except under certain circumstances, such as travelling in military transport or when entering an establishment that requires masks to be worn. If you feel comfortable wearing a mask, and would like to continue, you are permitted to do so.

It’s no longer a requirement for you to fill out and post a declaration. The link for this will no longer be provided.

Social distancing will still be practiced as much as possible. Also, it’s encouraged that we do as much training as possible outside.

We’re still committed to making cadets a safe and fun experience. If you have any questions on this, please consult a staff member.

If you feel sick, do the responsible thing, stay home.

Administration

Cadet365

There are issues in setting up new accounts in CADET365. From what I see, this will take about three weeks or so to fix.

Supply

Supply is open for exchanges and new issues during the evening. Make sure you see CI Dau to set up an appointment

4. National Online Ground School

The application deadline for the Air Cadet Online Ground School for this summer’s Glider and Power Pilot Training Courses has been extended to 15 November. Please see Capt Lemoine if you’d like to apply.

7. Cadet Co-op (High School Credit Program)

The Training Year Cadet Co-op is starting back up once again in partnership between UCDSB (Upper Canada District School Board) and RCSU Central. 

To be eligible a cadet must:

  • Attend High School in Ontario
  • Reside in Ontario
  • Be a current cadet

There is a misconception that has come up over the years:

  • Cadets must be a student from UCDSB – Incorrect
  • The program is a ministry of education program, coordinated on behalf of the ministry through UCDSB. As long as the cadet is a student of any school board in Ontario (French, English, Public, Catholic, or even Private) they are eligible as the credit is linked to their OEN (Ontario Education Number)

Cadets can earn up to four (4) credits through the training year version of cadet co-op. It takes 90 hours of cadet activities (training, team practices, uniform prep, lesson prep, &c) to earn a credit, as well as completion of the pre-placement assignments, tracking their hours on a log sheet, and participating in your ACR. Why not earn some high school credits for what they are already doing?!

If you’re interested, please see Capt Lemoine for more information, including the application and a FAQ sheet.
