Spring Tag Days

It’s that time of year again! Tag days begin tomorrow and run all weekend around Niagara-on-the-Lake. Make sure you are arrive five minutes before your shift and be sure that you ware are wearing your uniform. You may wear C2 or C3 depending on the weather. Toques are also optional, but you must wear either a toque or a wedge. Definitely bring your parka. Lunch will be provided for those cadets participating all day on Saturday.

WE HAVE NEED OF FIVE MORE CADETS ON SUNDAY. If you can cover an extra shift on Sunday, please let a staff or SSC member know as when you arrive for your first shift. In addition, one or two cadets needed to be moved to Saturday from Friday because there weren’t enough spots to accommodate. If you are one of these cadets and cannot be available for your new shift, we can move you over to Sunday as an option.

Staff will be on-site at the squadron to facilitate departure, but we need PARENT DRIVERS. Please have your parent come inside the office when you arrive if they are able to drive you out to your location. They will need to provide proof of valid drivers license and insurance.

March Break Activities (Update 3)

Today’s fun? Curling!

Be at the St. Catharines Curling Centre (220 Grantham Ave, St. Catharines, ON) at 1345h (2:00pm) for two hours of throwing rocks! Cadets should be dressed in warm, fibre-free outerwear (it’s 7° out on the ice) and gloves. Bring clean running shoes and your health card!

Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Trip (Update)

Just got back from 809’s March Break trip to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Mount Hope. Everyone, staff included, learned some very cool facts about these incredible aircraft. Did you know that Canadian-built Rolls-Royce Merlin engines have an opposite spin to their British counterparts? We didn’t. Something about driving on opposite sides of the road, maybe?

Here are our cadets in front of the museum’s iconic Supermarine Spitfire Mark XVIe.

Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Trip

For those six cadets who signed up for the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Trip, we’ll be leaving at 0900h (9:00am) tomorrow morning from the front of 809 Squadron HQ and expect to arrive at the museum at 1000h (10:00am) for our tour. Dress is C2 for all attending cadets. Lunch will be served on-site. Bring your health card!
