Seniors Trip 2019

Good Day All,
Just a reminder; If you’re participating in the Senior’s trip this year, we will be at the LHQ tonight to work on pulling squadron kit and packing the trailer.  Please join us as we have a battle ahead of us trying to sort out the Sea Can supply situation.

We will work out trip muster point and timing then.

Trip to Canada’s Wonderland

Good afternoon!

Here are the details for this coming Sunday’s Canada’s Wonderland trip.

We’re planning to leave from 809 HQ at 1416 Line 3 at 0830h (8:30am) and return at approximately 2130h (9:30pm) after a full and exhausting day at the park. Cadets are expected to bring their own packed lunch or appropriate money to purchase food on site. Dinner will be provided at or near the park.

Cadets should arrive in civilian dress no later than 0815h (8:15am) with the following:

Health Card
Bag Lunch (or sufficient money to purchase lunch at the park)
Sunblock
Water Bottle
Bathing Suit and Towel (There is a water park to be considered.)

We’ll be taking two mini-vans and have a capacity for up to 14 cadets. If we get more, I’m sure we can work something out.

Further documentation will follow tomorrow.

809 Senior Rafting Trip – Part Deux

Wow!  What a fantastic trip.   There was great food, a whole lot of incredible fun, and some great horsing around on the raft.  Thanks go out to Lt Russell, CV Carbone and Mr. Zalepa for helping out.  Cheers to our River Guides – Brandon and Gus from OWL.  You have the best job on the planet.  The biggest shout out of all goes to all the seniors that attended.  Your were a big part of making this past year an incredible success and It was our pleasure, as staff, to set this up for you.  You made this one incredibly fun trip.  To those seniors that are leaving us, I hope you enjoyed your last weekend with us.  Come back and visit when you get a chance.

Have a great summer!

809 Rafting Trip

Bravo Zulu to OCdt Dan Couroux for an AMAZING job in organizing our most recent trip to Owl Rafting on the Ottawa River. A great time was had by all, and wouldn’t have happened without his organizing and chasing.

We are all home tired and ready for some down time. I hope everyone has a great time at summer training. See everyone in the fall.
