Hello 809. I was glad to see so many cadets attend the fun day last Saturday. I hope you all had a great time. I know the staff did.

We are now coming up on the last full month of training for the year. Most of the classroom instruction is complete and we’ll be concentrating on practical displays and drill to get ready for the Annual Ceremonial Review (ACR) on Saturday, June 3.

This Wednesday marks the 1st training day of the month, which is a CO’s parade and inspection. So, prep your blues and shine your boots.

Capt Emptage will not be around for the next couple of weeks. She’s busy working on her tan down in the Caribbean. OCdt Bell will be running the training section while she’s away.

CO’s Message

Hello 809. I hope everyone had a great March Break. I’d like to thank all the cadets, staff and SSC members that took part in bowling last Wednesday, and also to everyone who attended the showing of “Devotion” we had last Monday.

This week, the Warrant Officers will be undergoing the Cadet Fitness Assessment, while the rest of the squadron will be going over aircraft engines with our guest, former WO1 Spencer Abt. He’s currently at Canadore College becoming and air craft mechanic and has brought down an engine to show you. He’ll have tools with him and you’ll be able to tinker with the engine under his supervision.

Bowling: Change of Venue

Tomorrow evening’s bowling night will no longer be at Parkway Social on Ontario Street. We need to switch our venue to Fairview Bowling lanes at 285 Geneva Street in St. Catharines at the Fairview Mall. The best mall entrance to reach the bowling alley is the one off of YMCA drive.

Timings remain the same: 1845 (6:45pm) to 2100 (9:00pm)

See you there!
