CO’s Message

Hello 809!

We have a special visitor this Wednesday evening. Capt Giovenazzo, our Zone Training Officer (ZTO), will be paying us a visit. Any plans we have for training go through Capt Giovenazzo for review to make sure that we’re putting together a great program for you. Make sure your boots are blackened, your FTU’s are not wrinkled and your beret is properly formed. If he speaks with you, please be polite and friendly and answer any questions he may have for you.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be phasing out posting the WROs to our website and will be posting them solely to Teams. In order to view them, you must have an active Cadet365/CCO email account and access to Teams, which will be used as the main form of communication within the squadron. If you don’t have this, or are not sure how to use Teams, please see Capt Lemoine for assistance.

Now for the WROs…

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.

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.
