It appears that ground school has started extremely early this year. (We’ve actually missed the first session, but I’m hoping catch-up won’t be an issue.) I need to know if any of our cadets are considering applying for the Glider Pilot Scholarship or Power Pilot Scholarship this year or next and are interested in attending ground school. It will be held on Thursday evenings, virtually at first via Zoom, but with potential in-person activities at 87 Eagle Squadron in Welland later in the year. Please email me your intent ASAP at jody.lemoine@809cadets.ca.

Students should be at the school with their materials no later than 1815 (6:15pm) for an 1830 (6:30pm) start.
Good luck to each of you on this year’s studies!

337 and 79 are joining forces to provide their gliding and flying scholarship candidates with a ground school program and we would like to extend an invitation to all NAG Squadrons. I am aware that some squadrons may already have other arrangements, but if you don’t please fell free to join us.
We are asking that cadets who attend be eligible to apply for a gliding or flying scholarship this training year, and come prepared with sufficient note taking materials (paper, pens, etc.) and a package of cue/index/recipe cards.
I am asking that you respond only if you have cadets who would be attending and let us know numbers so that we can ensure we have the proper meeting space available.
Thanks,
Nic
