It’s that time of year again and the Santa Claus Parade is upon us.
Each year we participate in the Niagara on the Lake Santa Claus Parade. The cadets are assigned various “tasks” for the parade and we do our best to spread holiday cheer.
Oh, and we usually win best youth group parade entry!
Please be sure to be at Branch 124 Legion no later than 10:00am on King St. in NOTL for a 11:00 parade start. (Take note that the town starts to close down roads around 10:00am and it becomes increasingly difficult to get to the legion after that time).
Ensure you’re dressed in C-3 with warm underclothes, toque, black gloves and cadet parka (unless told specifically otherwise by WO1 Prue or WO2 Hendriks)
The parade itself is about 1.5 hours from start to finish. Therefore your cadet will be ready for pick up no later than 1:00pm at the legion. (Family’s staying to watch the parade are encouraged to find a spot close to the beginning so that you can see the entire parade and still pick up your cadet on time).
I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Tonight we will begin our prep for the Field Training Exercise this weekend: 22, 23, 24 Nov. We are holding it at 62 Sqn HQ in Grimsby – ALL cadets are required to make their own way there – this significantly cuts down on costs for buses and allows us to spend it elsewhere to enhance trg. Please try and carpool. All relevant details are listed under the calendar event page for the FTX including the Kit List.
As the temperature will only be dropping, we are moving into Winter dress for the cadets. Winter Dress: Tunic, Turtleneck, Wedge, Belt, Grey Socks, & Parade Boots for all cadets except Sgts & Up. If you do not have a turtleneck, please see CI Thiffault in Supply.
