This is a reminder that we’re fewer than two months away from our planned March Break trip to Washington DC and that the next instalment of $125 was due last Wednesday night. If you haven’t submitted your cheque, please do so tonight or this Wednesday. Several cadets are a month behind, both cheques are needed to maintain your spot on the trip.
Also, due to the requirements of some of our tour destinations, it is IMPORTANT that those going on the trip submit their passport information to me tonight or on Wednesday.
While it was previously thought that other forms of identification (NEXUS passes, Enhanced Driver’s Licenses, &c) would be sufficient, it turns out that this is only true for the actual border crossing. Secure destinations like The Pentagon require actual passports for visitors.
If you have any questions, please see me directly.

Posted on behalf of RAdm Bennett, Chief of Reserves and Cadets:
Good day,
As the cadet training year draws to a close and cadets from across the country prepare for summer training, I have prepared a video message to share news about what’s happening at the national level of the Cadet Program, to recognize and thank our cadets for the incredible things they are doing in their communities, and to encourage them to take advantage of every opportunity this wonderful program has to offer.
Please promote and distribute this video to cadets throughout your Corps and Squadrons and Cadet Summer Training Centres, across your social media networks, and in any public or internal forum you deem appropriate.
The video is now live on YouTube and can be accessed via the Canadian Cadet Organizations Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/cadetsca, and the @Cadetsca Twitter feed at https://www.twitter.com/cadetsca.
Thank you for all that you do every day in helping to develop the leaders of tomorrow. Best wishes for a fantastic and safe summer!

The cadets performed admirably and we’re all looking forward to hearing the competition results.
Well done!
