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!

March Break Activities (Update)
Looking at the sign-up sheets for our March Break activities, we’re coming down to a go or no-go decision.
Tomorrow’s visit to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum currently has three cadets signed up, which isn’t enough to justify the trip. If you’re interested in going, you need to sign up by 1630h (4:30pm) today. The final decision will be made at that point. If we don’t go, we’ll make another try of it later in the year.
SkyZone on Wednesday is looking good. We have six cadets signed up, but more is better!
Curling on Friday has four cadets signed up and we’ll need a few more to make it viable.
Bottom line: If you’re participating, sign up right away. These are not activities that you can just show up to on the day of the event.

Zone 7/8 Range Competition
With a total score of 988 points, 809 Squadron’s Range Team came in at 5th place out of 11 teams in Zone 7. Well done!
Range Team Competition Tomorrow
Correction to Wednesday’s announcement about tomorrow’s range team competition:
Only the five competing members of the team should show up at the Lake Street Armouries tomorrow. The spare members of the team should not be in attendance.
Please accept my apology for the confusion and join me in wishing the best to our team as they compete tomorrow.

Aviation Training Weekend – The Return
Once again, the cadets of 809 Squadron had a fun, exciting, and educational weekend at the Cadet Youth Development Centre at the Waterloo Airport. We’re on our way home now with a bus load of tired cadets and a renewed enthusiasm for the aviation and aerospace aspects of our program.
Parents, we were a little bit behind schedule leaving the CYDC add expect to arrive at 809 HQ between 1820h (6:20pm) add 1830h (6:30pm) instead of our originally scheduled time.
Aviation Training Exercise
Per the instructions given on Wednesday, we will be meeting in front of 809’s HQ no later than 1815 (6:15pm) for a 1830 (6:30pm) departure. Make sure you have everything in the kit list with you, especially your health card.
We will be returning from the Cadet Youth Development Centre in Waterloo at approximately 1630 (4:30pm) on Sunday for an estimated return of 1800 (6:00pm) arrival. If there are unexpected changes to this, notification will given as soon as possible.
We’re gearing up for an amazing weekend with a few additional things that we didn’t experience last time. I hope everyone else is looking forward to it as much as I am!
