Hello 809. This week marks the 106th anniversary of the battle for Vimy Ridge, April 9-12 1917. 6 years ago, 809 visited the memorial in France. A visit that will never be forgotten by those that made the trip.
Remember, this Monday is Easter Monday, so there will be no training. Regular training picks up this Wednesday evening with FTUs being the dress of the day. See you Wednesday.
Just a quick reminder that canteen cards will be up for sale tonight. If you need to purchase one, please see the SSC member as soon as you arrive for cadets. Canteen cards are $20.00 ea.
Regards,

Hello 809. I hope everyone had a great March Break. I’d like to thank all the cadets, staff and SSC members that took part in bowling last Wednesday, and also to everyone who attended the showing of “Devotion” we had last Monday.
This week, the Warrant Officers will be undergoing the Cadet Fitness Assessment, while the rest of the squadron will be going over aircraft engines with our guest, former WO1 Spencer Abt. He’s currently at Canadore College becoming and air craft mechanic and has brought down an engine to show you. He’ll have tools with him and you’ll be able to tinker with the engine under his supervision.
Tomorrow evening’s bowling night will no longer be at Parkway Social on Ontario Street. We need to switch our venue to Fairview Bowling lanes at 285 Geneva Street in St. Catharines at the Fairview Mall. The best mall entrance to reach the bowling alley is the one off of YMCA drive.
Timings remain the same: 1845 (6:45pm) to 2100 (9:00pm)
See you there!

Good afternoon, 809! It’s our last week before March Break and we’re going to be a bit more casual this week with a sports night on Wednesday. We’re also considering a bowling night on the Wednesday of March Break. Please let Capt Lemoine know if you’re interested in coming out so that we can gauge interest.
