We had our most successful single day bottle drive to date!
All this doesn’t happen without a very dedicated SSC, thank you all for
your great support with this; especially Patricia for organizing the Ads,
newspaper articles and flyers. (thanks also to Kenn for sponsoring one of
the ads).
Big thanks also to our dedicated Staff, we can’t make this happen without
your support.
Great support by so many parents and volunteers who pitched in with
driving, sorting and loading; a real team effort.
Thanks to our Cadets, 100% attendance, and great job by all !!!
All this can’t happen though without our two great anchors for Drop-Offs
and Sorting, the Ruttans and the Vannoorts, this is really not possible
without you and your continued support !!! So greatly appreciated.
Thanks to All !!!!!

Santa Claus Day Parade
All the cadets that participated in the parade this morning were well received by the spectators lining the parade route this morning. Our float was fantastic! The first year for a float from 809 Sqn and thanks to CI Thiffault, Mr. Hendriks, Mr. Ruttan, Mrs. Burland, OCdt Couroux, and CI Ruttan it was a HUGE addition to our parade entry. Without their efforts our entry would not have been so impressive. Our only drawback was low attendance – only 14 of our 25 cadets attended this event. Cadets & Parents: please check the upcoming months on the website to make sure you can attend as many events as possible. We have more fun, and enjoy more rewards, when everyone works together. Those cadets that attended are reminded to hand-in their volunteer hour sheets for validation to Capt Palumbo. HINT: Log in to see the captions below the photos.
