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!

 Good morning all;

 A reminder that scholarship application deadlines are fast approaching and we must get the word out to the squadrons so that the cadets can get their applications to the National Office before the deadline.

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

Leonard Birchall scholarship valued at $3500

Robert Dale scholarship valued at $2500

Youth Citizen Award valued at $5000

 Application forms are attached but can also be found on the ACL website and note the deadline is MAY 1^st, 2015 for all three.

 Have a great day ! Bonne journée!
