Ghost Tour at Fort George

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to learn about the history of our town from a spookier perspective. The evening promises to be a great combination of education, socializing with fellow cadets and being creeped out in proper Hallowe’en tradition.

They have space for up to 15 cadets in their private tour and expect the cost to be $20 or less.

The sign-up sheet is available below. (Please note that you need to be logged in to access the sheet.)

Canadian Space Agency Announcement

Canadian Space Agency Call for Female Astronauts!!

The Canadian Space Agency is looking for the next Julie Payette or Roberta Bondar and is encouraging more women to apply to the follow in their footsteps. Ever since the agency kicked off its recruitment drive in June to find Canada’s two new astronauts, it has received more than 3,300 applications, but less than a third are from female applicants.

To encourage more women to apply, the agency has reached out to professional associations and organizations (Women in Aerospace Canada) that have large female membership.

For more information please see http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2016/07/27/canadian-space-agency-seeksmore-female-applicants/ CBC wrote a story on this http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2016/07/27/canadian-space-agency-seeks-morefemale-applicants/ At the very least, many people, of all ages are applying to at least be able to say they applied. Even a rejection letter would be something to keep!

We do not know when this opportunity will come around again! If you have the ability to encourage any young women to apply as an astronaut, we would implore you to please forward this information to any groups, clubs, associations or others that would benefit. This is so important for young women of Canada.

For more information or questions, please feel free to contact WIA Director:

Fish Fry Volunteers Needed

Calling all available cadets and parents!

We need four volunteers (2 each night) to cover the shifts for our Legion’s Fish Fry on Thurs 11 Aug and Thurs 18 Aug 2016.  4-7pm shift. Dress is civilian – 809 spirit wear if preferred.

If you can help, please contact Mrs Gowans at kgowans@whip.ca

We have a responsibility to our title sponsor, Branch 124 Legion, to help out. Without their financial support, the squadron would not be the fantastic place it is today.
