LHQ Update

Thank you to all the Staff, Cadets & Sponsoring Committee who helped us move out of the old kindergarten area of the school last night. Unfortunately, due to a leaky roof, the area is no longer suitable for use.

As announced at briefing last night. a sign is posted and the area closed of with plastic, so please refrain from entering.

All training items formerly housed in that area have been moved to adjacent classrooms.

Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome Back!

It was a joyous reunion last night (or rather, early this morning) as our Cadets, Staff & Sponsors returned from the Washington, DC March Break Trip.

Everyone was a little tired, but hopefully after a good night’s sleep, can start to remember all the fun they had when they were away.

A big THANK YOU to Capt Lemoine for being the OIC, Capt Jarrell, CI Ruttan, Mr. Ruttan and Mr Hendriks for escorting, and to our cadets who made the whole experience worthwhile.

Apparently, there are already discussions about where to go next year…..

PARENTS: ALL Health Cards and Passports were sent home with cadets.

MONDAY NIGHT: Don’t forget – meet at Parkway Lanes in St. Catharines for Bowling. 6-830pm. See you then!

 These awards are quite prestigious and can be of great help to the cadets who intend to further their education.
