Another Remembrance Day has come and gone. As always, cadets and alumni of 809 Newark Squadron were there to renew the memory of our fallen. Through the year, we will continue to honour them in service to our community. #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem #809Immortal

Good evening.
This morning, I had the privilege of attending Crossroads Public School’s Remembrance Day Ceremony where five of our cadets held key positions in its production. As in previous years, the students and teachers assembled a moving and heartfelt presentation honouring our fallen. Congratulations to Mme. Zoccoli, our first Community Reviewing Officer, who did an admirable job of putting it all together.
We’ll be beginning our own Remembrance Day activities tomorrow, beginning with two shifts of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign at Phil’s Valu Mart. Cadets who have signed up should meet me in front of the Valu Mart in C3 dress to collect their poppy boxes 10 minutes before their shifts.
After dinner, at 1900h (7:00pm) the squadron will be meeting upstairs at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 124 for our annual Remembrance Day Sleepover, Vigil, and Parades. Full details can be found here:

Another successful Niagara-on-the-Lake Christmas Parade is complete. Thanks to the cadets, staff and volunteers who came out and made it all happen. Special thanks also go out to Turkstra Lumber, Vintage Hotels and Royal Canadian Legion Branch 124 for their support.
Sending a big “Thank You!” out to the cadets who attended the Canada Day Parade on Sunday. Volunteering to participate in these events demonstrates our commitment to our community and country. Raising awareness of the squadron in the public eye is also a great side benefit.
