Weekly Routine Orders – Week of 24 Feb 19

Summary

I’m happy to report that we had a successful aviation exercise at the Cadet Youth Development Centre in Waterloo this weekend. We had to cut the trip a few hours short due to weather considerations, but it that didn’t take away from everyone’s education and enjoyment over the weekend.

Captain Palumbo can’t make it out on Monday, so instead of splitting the optional training night between the Drill Tem and the Marksmanship Team, we’re going to do a full two-hour session for the Drill Team. The Marksmanship Team will get a full two-hour session of their own on Thursday night in preparation for the Zone 7/8 Marksmanship Competition on Saturday. We don’t have access to the HQ for this, so we’ll be doing a Throwback Thursday and returning to an old HQ location and using the Old Virgil Public School Gym for the evening.

Summary

Congratulations once again to our Effective Speaking Competition winners and thank you to all of the cadets who participated. All of you made for an insightful and enjoyable evening for everyone who attended. I believe Mrs. Mehrotra was overheard saying that this was her favourite event of the year and I’m sure she’s not alone in that thinking.

I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. With that in mind, I’d like to remind everyone that there will be no training on Monday, 18 Feb. We’ll be back for regular training on the 20th, and we have a packed week from there. Thursday, 21 Feb will be a full night of practice and try-outs for the Marksmanship Team. Friday the 22nd to Saturday the 24th is our spring Aviation Weekend at the CYDC in Waterloo, and we’re back to Drill Team and Marksmanship Team practice on the 25th.

Heads-up for all cadets and parents/guardians. I’ll be working on final planning for March Break Activities next weekend and would like a rough idea of how many cadets will be participating. If you’re going to be in town and want to come out for some March Break fun, please let me know on Wednesday.

RO Number

Summary

This week’s summary is largely the same as last week’s. The weather may have halted things for a night, but we’re picking up where we left off. Hopefully, everyone managed to stay safe and warm.

Our next few optional training nights will be split between drill team practice from 1900h-2000h (7:00pm-8:00pm) and marksmanship team practice from 2000h-2100h (8:00pm-9:00pm). There will be no optional training on the 18th (Family Day) but we will attempt to find an alternate night that week.

On Wednesday, we’ll once again attempt to hold our local Effective Speaking Competition and have invited the community to attend. Time permitting, there will also be a CO’s Parade at the end of the night.

For those cadets participating in the Effective Speaking Competition, don’t forget to bring your completed competition form with you on Wednesday.

Summary
Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday and helped to make our winter bottle drive a success! When the squadron and our extended family come together, there’s very little we can’t accomplish. Hopefully, we’ll have some final numbers on funds raised by our regular training night this week.

For the next few Mondays leading up to the Niagara Air Group (NAG) Sports Competition, we’ll be splitting the evening between Drill Team Practice and Sports Practice. We’ve got trophies to keep and we aren’t going to give them up to anyone else without a serious challenge.

Cadets who have applied for national courses need to know that the interviews are coming up on 26 Jan. We’ll arrange for mock interviews for you to practice your presentation before the interviews themselves. Unfortunately, the interviews are in direct conflict with the sports competition, so you won’t be able to make the trip to Cayuga with us that day.

The Niagara-on-the-Lake Ice Wine Festival being held over the next two weekends has generously offered to donate the empty bottles from the event to us, so Mr. Zalepa is looking for a few volunteers on each Sunday to assist with the pickup. If you’re available, sign-up sheets have been posted here: https://809cadets.ca/events/event-sign-ups/.

Lastly, the Niagara Cadet Winter Gala is coming up on 2 Feb 19 at the Lake Street Armoury and tickets ($25 each) will become available in the next couple of weeks. A number of cadets have expressed interest already and it’s shaping up to be an exciting event. I highly recommend attending if you can. Dress code will be semi-formal or C8 mess dress.

Summary
Welcome back! Here’s hoping everyone had a great Christmas and is enjoying what we’ve had so far of the new year.

January isn’t a heavy month, but we have a few upcoming activities.

  • CO’s Parade on the 9th. Let’s make sure everyone gets back into practice and, just as importantly, that everyone’s uniforms still fit properly.
  • Winter Bottle Drive on the 12th. This is one of our mandatory fundraisers and so it’s important that all cadets (and as many parents as possible) are participating.
  • NAG Sports Competition on the 26th. We took away four out of five trophies last year. Let’s see if we can keep them, and maybe add a fifth, this year.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone’s return. Remember, if you know anyone else who you think might benefit from our program, don’t hesitate to invite them out.

Summary
Congratulations to newly-promoted WO1 Couroux and his father, newly-enrolled OCdt Couroux! These promotions are the first of a few that we’re looking forward to conferring, so stay tuned.

In traditional form, we’re ending the calendar year in style with the 10th Annual Squadron Mess Dinner at Grace United Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake. It’s a festive night where we get to learn about RCAF traditions, so it’s training with amazing food and fun at the same time!

We have our effective speaking night on Monday, followed by Wednesday’s Mess Dinner and then we’re done until the second week of January.

On behalf of everyone involved in delivering the cadet program in Niagara-on-the-Lake, I wish you the best of the season, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Summary
We had a great showing at Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Santa Claus Parade yesterday. 809 Newark was given the first position in the parade and asked to form a flag party to start things off. We flew the Canadian flag, the Niagara-on-the-Lake town flag, and our own squadron banner as we and Snoopy (“Curse you, Red Baron!”) led the parade through the streets to the tune of “Snoopy’s Christmas” by The Royal Guardsmen. A big thank you goes out to Turkstra Lumber for providing the truck for our display; to Vintage Hotels for the loan of decorations; to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 124; to Lt Russell and all supporting members of the staff and sponsorship committee; and our cadets for another successful parade.

Our extra-curricular activities are done for the calendar year and we’re starting to slow things down as we approach our winter stand-down from 20 Dec 18 to 6 Jan 19, but there are still a few things happening:

  • Our effective speaking program will be continuing on Monday nights until 17 Dec.
  • We have a Merit Review Board on 10 Dec for FSgts and WO2s wishing to be considered for promotion.
  • We have our December CO’s Parade on 12 Dec with a few things to announce.
  • We have our formal Squadron Mess Dinner on 19 Dec to end the first part of our training year on a high note.

We’re still looking for new cadets to join our ranks, so if you know anyone who might be interested in what we do as a squadron, bring them out on 12 Dec. It’s a light training night and they get to see some of our pomp and ceremony, too.
