Dress
C-1 for everyone
Wednesday will be a great night with both a CO’s parade and a visit from a former cadet. We are delighted that Wade MacPherson, Primary Care Paramedic – former Cadet Squadron Commander of 809 Sqn – will be joining us. Let’s show him how fantastic those uniforms can look!
Flying Schedule
Due to the long day at the Gliding Centre yesterday, I only had time to publish today’s schdule.
Below is the schedule for the remaining flights (log-in to view):
** Aircraft may not be available, and will be rescheduled if required
All cadets are to be at the St Catharines Flying Club (not the terminal) no later than 6:15pm (I will not wait for you). If you are late/no-show you will not be rescheduled. We have a budget to work within and I cannot add extra flights.
Monday Night pick-ups will be at 8pm at the airport. I will drive the cadets back to the Cadet Building on Wednesdays for regular pick-ups.
You MUST bring your health card.
Monday flights will be civis, Wednesday will be in uniform (as per dress of the day).

Sponsor Appreciation Tonight
PARENTS: Please join us during closing parade for our Sponsor Appreciation beginning at 855pm. We will be enjoying cupcakes and drinks to celebrate all the fantastic opportunities that our Squadron Sponsoring Committee create for your cadets, through their time, effort and dedication to our squadron.
My apologies for the mis-communication this morning regarding the March Break Trip parent meeting next Wed (I shouldn’t attempt to post before the kids go to school). We have changed the time of the meeting though, to 815pm on Wed Mar 11th, to better accommodate pick-up of your cadet and avoid waiting around after drop-off. In an effort to reduce the number of times you are required and/or requested to attend various parade night functions, the parent meeting originally scheduled at the end of the month has been cancelled (and deleted from the calendar). Thank you for your understanding.
