2018 Annual Ceremonial Review – Video

Thanks to Mr. Nicolescu, we have a great summary video of Saturday’s Annual Ceremonial Review, including a few shots of the Annual Cadet Awards Banquet from the night before. Whether you made it to the event or not, give it a watch. There are a lot of great cadets in there to be proud of.

Thank you very much, Mr. Nicolescu, for putting this together for us.

Gliding Update

It’s looking like the weather is good, the winds are calm, and it’s a good day for gliding! There’s still a forecast for rain and possible thunderstorms, so I’ll keep everyone in the loop if this changes, but we’re still good to go right now.

I had initially thought we had 20 spots for gliding, but we’re sharing the afternoon with 128 Squadron and may have fewer. I’ve submitted the 16 cadets who have signed up with the Gliding Centre and haven’t heard anything back from them, so we should still be good.

It’s going to be a hot day today, so definitely remember to bring a hat, sunscreen, water, and a book or something similar to occupy you while you’re waiting for your flight.

See you there!

Gliding Tomorrow

For those cadets who signed up for gliding this Sunday at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Airport, we begin at 1300h (1:00pm) and so you should arrive at 1245h (12:45pm) and meet Capt Lemoine at the terminal building. Dress: civilian appropriate for weather. (This means that you should wear sunscreen and a hat.) We’ll be finished around 4pm.

There is a forecast for thunderstorms tomorrow, so watch for updates in case we have to cancel due to inclement weather. Fingers are crossed that we’ll have a great afternoon of gliding!

Annual Ceremonial Review 2018 – Treats

Good morning.

We’re putting out an all-call for a few things needed at Saturday’s Annual Ceremonial Review.

1. We’re looking for nut-free, bite-sized baked goods and desserts. We’ve noticed over the years that cadets, former cadets, and well… everyone, needs some sugar to keep themselves going at these events. If you’re bringing them in a reusable container, please label the container so that we know to whom to return it.

2. We need coolers to store drinks and keep them cold for the event. If you have one that you can loan us, please bring it with your cadet when you drop them off at 0900h (9:00am).

Thank you!
