AIRPORT FEST – URGENT

We still do not have enough cadets for tomorrow: Sat 16 Aug 14. This is an important community event that we need to support.

Many of the cadets have just returned (today) from summer trg. I am asking that regardless if you have spent the summer away or at home, that ALL of you who can help tomorrow do – we have 8 spots still open and more would be better. Dress is summer uniform – blue dress shirt no tunic.

SHIFT SCHEDULE:

11am-1pm: Airside** Cdts Lett & Couroux

NEEDED: 4 cadets for parking duty

1-3pm: Parking Cdts Keighan, Burland, Lavoie & Lavoie

NEEDED: 2 cadets for Airside security

3-5pm: Airside** Cdt Lemoine

NEEDED: 1 cadet for AIrside security**

**Please note for ramp security 8am is the briefing time tomorrow morning in the airport conference room. This is critical as the airport and taxiways will remain active while the public visit the static displays.

PARENTS: please check your schedules and send names for those cadets that can help out on Sat. We still have 10 spots that NEED to be filled (4 for airside** and 6 for parking)

1-3pm & 3-5pm for AIR SIDE SECURITY – **Please note for ramp security, and anyone involved on ramp side, there is a briefing Thursday, August 16th at 1800 hours, at the terminal.   – if your cadet is away at summer trg, let Capt Palumbo know so she can arrange for another time for this important briefing. This is critical as the airport and taxiways will remain active while the public visit the static displays.

Summer Training REMINDERS

Please remember to bring:

– your ONTARIO HEALTH CARD (no substitutes accepted)

– your TRANSPORTATION FORM (copy here: Cadet In Region Tpt Form 2012)

– your OFFER OF PARTICIPATION (signed by you, your parents and either CI Ruttan or Capt Palumbo)

These documents will guarantee you smooth traveling to your destination.  If you are missing any of these items, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure you have them in your possession prior to boarding the bus/airbus/airplane.

Dress for travel is UNIFORM (no tunic). Bring only what you can carry (one backpack and one luggage piece). Snacks are fine too – but clean up after yourself. And remember: don’t bring anything that you really don’t want to lose. Things happen. Stuff goes missing.

HAVE FUN! Our first cadet departs SUNDAY! Capt Palumbo will be in touch over the next few weeks with any outstanding travel orders. Check your email.

 

 

Reminder: Famil Flying

Just a reminder that you are to meet at the St Catharines Flying Club (there is a sign on the left pointing you in the correct direction) and NOT the terminal.

Flight times are posted in a previous post, and you will need to log in.

Please show up on time;  if you are running late and you don’t call 905-933-4978, you may miss your flight.

Chief of Reserves and Cadets – Video Message June 2014

Posted on behalf of RAdm Bennett, Chief of Reserves and Cadets:

Good day,

As the cadet training year draws to a close and cadets from across the country prepare for summer training, I have prepared a video message to share news about what’s happening at the national level of the Cadet Program, to recognize and thank our cadets for the incredible things they are doing in their communities, and to encourage them to take advantage of every opportunity this wonderful program has to offer.

Please promote and distribute this video to cadets throughout your Corps and Squadrons and Cadet Summer Training Centres, across your social media networks, and in any public or internal forum you deem appropriate.

The video is now live on YouTube and can be accessed via the Canadian Cadet Organizations Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/cadetsca, and the @Cadetsca Twitter feed at https://www.twitter.com/cadetsca.

Thank you for all that you do every day in helping to develop the leaders of tomorrow. Best wishes for a fantastic and safe summer!

J.J. Bennett
Rear-Admiral
Chief Reserves and Cadets
