Good evening,
The summer games are upon us and there are several opportunities for cadets throughout the region to take part as flag bearers in the medal ceremonies. Air, Sea and Army cadets are all taking part. If you’re interested in participating, please fire me off an email to let me know. I’ll then send you a list of available times and locations that you can pick from. Send an email to me at daniel.couroux2@cadets.gc.ca
Hello 809. I hope you’re all having a great summer.
I’ve got some early, but exciting, news about training!
The 2022/23 training year will be starting off with a bang. There will be a Niagara wide FTX training weekend during the weekend of September 16-18. This FTX will include all cadet units in the Niagara area, not only Air, but also Army and Sea as well. This will amount to about 400 cadets taking part. There will be some cross training, so you’ll have an opportunity to participate in some activities only offered to the other services. Transportation, food and training will be provided. There is a limited number of sleeping bags and tents available, so we’re being asked to provide our own where we can.
This will be a mandatory training event. All cadets and staff are being asked to attend. Transportation, food and training will be provided. Please make yourselves available and reply to me with your acknowledgement.
In closing, please respond to me by email indicating whether you have a sleeping bag or if you’ll be needing one. CI Dau, can you verify the number of serviceable tents we have available? I’d like to have your replies by 5pm tomorrow (Wednesday, August 10). Send those emails to daniel.couroux2@cadets.gc.ca.
I’m looking forward to hearing from each of you.
Big congratulations to Sgt Deane for completing the Survival Instructor Course at CTC Cold Lake in Alberta. Welcome home!
Lt Couroux
Mrs Vidal reached out to let us know that FSgt Vidal has completed his first solo flight. Congratulations FSgt Vidal. Good luck with the remainder of your course.
Lt Couroux
CI Dau tells us that FSgt Dau made it home after graduating the Survival Instructor Course at CTC Blackdown. From what he tells me, FSgt Dau had fun but wishes the course was 6 weeks. Congratulations on your graduation and welcome home FSgt.
Lt Couroux
We’ve heard from FSgt Vidal. Sounds like he’s doing well (but tired). He’s busy writing exams and flying. There have been some delays due to weather, but expects to solo next week. Good luck FSgt Vidal!
