It looks like the previous link only has options for cadets of age 14 and above. For cadets who are 12 and 13 years old, we have the Cadet Activity Programs which will be run at more local locations.
Cadet Activity Programs for Summer 2022
There aren’t a lot of specifics on these ones yet because they’re being organized on a wider scale, but we’ll post more detail as we have it.

We’re doing in-person summer training for 2022! There’s going to be some mixture of virtual training and in-person training, but it’s certainly more exciting than what we’ve had these last few years.
Full details on what’s available can be found here: Summer Training Courses 2022
Cadets will need to have a Cadets365 account to participate in much of this, but we’ll be transitioning our 809cadets.ca email addresses to Cadets365 over the next few months. We’ll definitely get you access long before training commences.
In the meantime, have a look at what’s available, decide what you’d like to participate in and let us know next week what you’d like to do.
Don’t pass up this opportunity. This is the best part of being a cadet!

Slight correction to the WROs this week. FSgt Rolph will be instructing the level one class. The instructors in the original posting were holdovers from last week and hadn’t been edited.

Good evening!
We’ve got some indirect good news in that the province is slowly lifting restrictions, so we’ve got our fingers crossed that we’re coming to the end of virtual-only training. We’ll pass on the information as soon as we have it.
I apologize for the delay in getting the summer training material together, but that will be coming by Wednesday at the latest. It looks like they’ve got some good options on the table, so I hope everyone is ready to put their names when we have all of the details.
Remember that Padre Fowler is running a couple of worthwhile workshops (details below) and if you have the availability, you should be checking them out.
Remember to read the WROs in their entirety.
See you on Wednesday!

Good evening!
We’re still in a holding pattern with respect to a return to in-person training, but will let you know what we know as soon as we know it.
Last week’s split between regular training and fun activities to bring the squadron together was a success, so we’re going to continue. There’s also been talk about cadets organizing their own activities outside of our training environment, and that’s 100% encouraged. Remember that part of being a cadet is the friends that you make. That should definitely extend beyond the training that we’re conducting.
In addition to the activities that we’re offering, Padre (Capt) Fowler, the RCSU(C) Chaplain, is organizing some sessions on self leadership and time management, and on creating and maintaining safe and positive spaces. These sessions are outlined in the upcoming activities section and are open to both cadets and staff.
Remember to read the WROs in their entirety.

Good afternoon!
Congratulations to the FSgts who sat the WO2 MRB this last Saturday. We’ve received the results and the staff will be going over them this week.
We’re still waiting on updates with respect to a return to in-person training, but things are beginning to open up, so we remain optimistic about the near future. In the meantime, we’re still running virtual training and will keep you in the loop as we get more information.
The senior cadets are also working on some fun activities to augment our regular training schedule, so we hope to have something to tell you there really soon.
Remember to read the WROs in their entirety.

Good evening!
We’re still running virtual training, but are expecting word back today on a time frame for returning to in-person activities. As soon as we get word, we’ll be making sure that you have it.
This is a busy week for our Level 5 cadets as they have Merit Review Boards this weekend for promotion to Warrant Officer 2nd Class. LCol (Retired) Moody has been kind enough to offer his time for preparation sessions on Wednesday, so we’ve scheduled those around the instructional periods. Level 5 cadets: If you do not intend to participate in the WO2 MRBs this weekend, it is important that you let me know right away so that I can clear your spot on the docket. It’s a full schedule this weekend.
We’re expecting attendance at 1845 (6:45pm) this week so that we can all get a start by 1900 (7:00pm) and not run too late.
Remember to read the WROs in their entirety.
See you on Wednesday!

Good evening!
For all of the cadets working on the on-line ground school, there’s been an extension for completion of the course. Previously, the deadline for completion was 0300 (EST) today but is now 0300 EST on Monday, the 24th of January. If you’re still working on those last few bits, you’ve got an extra week to get those done.
We’re still running virtual training, but are anxiously waiting for updates and will let you know as soon as we can about getting back to in-person training.
I’ll be scheduling another parent meeting for early February and will be nailing down a solid date for that over the next week or so.

Good evening!
Thanks to all of the squadron’s families, friends, and Sponsorship Committee for the fundraising work that they put in on the weekend. With COVID-19 making a resurgence of late, the logistics of running a successful event were made much more complicated than they normally would be, so the appreciation of the squadron goes to each and every one of you for stepping up.
We’re still running exclusively on virtual training until at least the 24th of this month, but we’re going to make the best of it and carry on with our training until we can meet in person again. Updates will be provided as soon as we have them.
For the FSgts who are ready for their Merit Review Boards for WO2, these will be held virtually on the 29th of the month. We’ll be providing review materials and coaching in the time leading up to them.
Remember to read the WROs in their entirety. When the new year starts, we may have some perks for those who have done so.
See you on Wednesday!

Good evening.
As 2Lt Couroux and Mr. Abt have already indicated, this Saturday is our first bottle drop-off event of the year. For those of you who may be unaware, the bottle drop-offs have been the principal fundraiser for our squadron for a number of years now and its continued success is critical to our ability to deliver the cadet program in Niagara-on-the-Lake. COVID-19 and its associated lock-downs have diminished our program’s current activities, but we still need to face the future with the assumption that this is temporary. When this is over, we’ll need the funds to be able to do this… and that can’t be done without the help of our cadet families and friends.
Normally, these events would be an all-hands mandatory activity for cadets where they, their families, staff, sponsorship committee members, and friends all band together for a good cause. Current orders regarding cadets and staff don’t permit us to participate directly, but the work still needs doing and we’re asking for your help on Saturday the 8th from 0830 (8:30am) to 1330 (1:30pm).
If you can offer your time this Saturday in support of the squadron, please contact Mr. Abt as soon as you can.
Thank you for your ongoing support of your cadets and the entire squadron.
