CO’s Message
Hello 809!
Thanks to everyone for participating in this year’s Remembrance Day activities. I speak for the staff of the squadron when I say that we were impressed by your efforts.
The next couple of weeks are going to slow down a bit. We’re only looking at Monday and Wednesday night activities until the fun ramps up again in December. Take a breather while you can get it.

Note: If you cannot make it to a mandatory cadet activity, or one that you’ve signed up to attend, you need to call the squadron at 905-468-7584 and leave a message, or send an email to 809air@cadets.gc.ca, indicating your reason for not attending. Failure to do so will result in being marked as absent without excuse and will affect your standings towards training.
October Events
1. Monday Evening Optional Training
For Monday night optional training, we’ll again have the flight simulator available. Come out for social time with other cadets.
FSgt Deane would like everyone to bring their beret with them. He’ll go over forming the beret and how to properly wear it. If you can’t attend, please reach out to FSgt Deane by email or by Teams and he’ll provide some helpful tips.
The more cadets we have attending Monday evenings, the more fun it will be. Optional training will be from 1900-2100hrs
2. Fish Fry
The legion is looking for volunteers to take part in service duties for Fish Fry on Thursday nights. This is not a cadet activity, but you can earn time towards your community service hours for high school decoration. All interested parties are to reach out to Ms Kathleen Kells by email. Include your phone number, mobile phone number she can text to, and any dates that you cannot help out.
3. Online Ground School (OGS) – Glider and Power
Cadets wishing to apply for either Glider or Power Pilot Training this summer must complete OGS. This consists of 45 hrs of class work, with the qualifying exam to be completed by the deadline date (15 January 2024). Deadline for applications is 15 November 2023. Let squadron staff know if you’re interested, or if you need more information
