Air Cadets & Robotics!

Congratulations to Aila Simpson, formerly of 809 Squadron (she moved with her family to BC two years ago) – best of luck at World’s next weekend!

Former 809 Cadet to World’s Robotics!

“Fermion” is a remote-controlled robot designed, built, programmed and maintained by a group of Victoria high school students.

“A lot of people think it’s very cool,” said team member Aila Simpson.

The students from Mount Douglas Secondary School, Victoria High and the Pacific School of Innovation and Inquiry are part of a local robotics team called FIX-IT 3491.

The team is fine tuning their robot for the FIRST Global Championships in Houston, Texas on April 19 to 22.

Tonight, as part of our closing parade, we will honour the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. As it is 12th of April, the final day of the Battle, it is appropriate for the Squadron to commemorate an important point in Canadian History. 
There will be a brief presentation, including the singing of O Canada, a minute of silence and the playing of Last Post.
Parents are encouraged to attend – seating will be available on the parade square. We will begin promptly at 9pm.
