Congratulations to WOI Lavoie (Cadet Squadron Commander) and WOII Giansante (Deputy Cadet Squadron Commander) on their recent promotions. We look forwawrd to a great year under your leadership.

Cadets please make an effort to double check your shifts this wknd. We’re not sure if there has just been a miscommunication, but ultimately the list HERE tagging-dec-2016 is the correct one (it is the same as the one posted late Wed night). It is your responsibility (not your parents/guardians) to ensure you know where you’re supposed to be and when.

Parents please accept our apologies for any inadvertent confusion and/or last minute panic tonight. As an FYI, we will call your cadet 15 mins after the beginning of their expected shift if they have not yet arrived.

Looking forward to the rest of a great tagging weekend.

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.)
