Hello 809 Squadron,

We need your help to support the poppy campaign. Money goes to the Royal Canadian Legion’s efforts to support veterans. Shifts are Saturday AM, Saturday PM, Sunday AM and Sunday PM. We’re looking for 4 cadets and 2 staff members on each shift. Multiple shifts are available for those who wish. The more people that sign up means lighter work for others. This is an important activity for both the unit and our sponsor. It gets us in the eye of the public doing a service. Cadets will assemble at the Legion on King St for a quick briefing before moving off to their duty location. Parents/guardians will then be asked to transport their cadets to their shift area.

Dress: Dress is C1, with parka, gloves and toque.
When: Saturday Nov 04, Sunday Nov 05
Timings: AM Shift – 0900-1230, PM Shift – 1230-1600 (Arrive 15min prior to shift)
Where: Meet @ 124 Branch RCL before and after shift (410 King St, NOTL)
Transport: Not provided – Parent/Guardians to bring cadets to Legion and then transport to duty location. Parents/guardians then to pick up cadet at end of shift, transport back to legion and then home after dismissal.

An officer/staff member will be on-hand to supervise cadets throughout the activity. Cadets and staff will be requested to have their phones with them in case of emergency.

Sign up sheets for both cadets and staff can be found here:
