For those cadets who have volunteered for the Icewine Festival Bottle pickup today, we’ll be meeting at 5pm behind the Court House.

A big thanks to all of the cadets, parents, sponsorship committee members and staff who came out and worked hard to make our Winter Bottle Drive a success. We should hear back with some final numbers sometime this week.

Also, special thanks go out to VanNoort Florists for supporting us with a sorting area and with trucks for delivering the bottles to The Beer Store’s distribution centre.

All of your contributions are essential to helping us deliver a great program for the youth of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Thank you!

Our second bottle drive of the training year is tomorrow at VanNoort Greenhouses at the corner of Hunter and Four Mile Creek Roads in Niagara-on-the-Lake. We will start promptly at 0900h (9am) and we need all cadets, and as many parent volunteers as possible, on board. Please remember that this is a mandatory fundraising activity and that attendance cheques will be cashed for those cadets not present.

• DRIVERS: We need drivers! Please bring in your valid driver’s license and proof of automobile insurance, pick up your car magnets, driving route, and cadets;
• SORTERS: We need sorters for the entire day. It’s dirty job, but worth every penny. (Or it it nickel now?) We have people who know how it works, so find someone who looks like they know what they’re doing and they’ll show you the ropes;
• CADETS: It’s a cold day, so WEAR YOUR WINTER COAT, GLOVES, and cadet toque. We’re supposed to go down to -9°C tomorrow, so don’t under-dress. You’ll be outside for the majority of the day.

We will be providing lunch for everyone helping out, and there will be coffee/tea on-site as well for our adult volunteers.

Bring your excitement and enthusiasm! We are looking forward to a fantastic fundraising event.

Tagging Apr 2017 This is the updated version of the schedule (as of 1022pm Thurs). Please use it to confirm your schedule for the wknd. Cadet pairings may change upon arrival.

Remember: SMILE! Engage the public and put a face to the cadets that the community is rallying around for our trip to Vimy. We need their support!

It’s that time of year again. Tagging is on this weekend all over NOTL. Make sure you are on time for your shift – wearing your uniform. You can decide (based on weather) if you want to wear your turtleneck or dress shirt with tie. Toques are also optional – but you must wear either a toque or a wedge. Parka is recommended.

SCHEDULE here: Tagging Apr 2017

Lunch will be provided for those cadets participating all day on Sat. Arrive 5 mins before your shift time.

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.
