I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving weekend and has been able to spend some time with your families. Here are the events for this month:

  • This is still open to any cadets interested in participating in biathlon; the first competition is Saturday, Nov 4th
  • Capt Fong is able to pick up cadets in Chestermere to take to Strathmore and back, so please let her or myself know if you are interested in this

  • For those of you who haven’t seen the Facebook page, I have attached the kit list for the Bivouac FTX this weekend
  • Location: Owl Group Campground at Bow Valley Provincial Park
  • We have not received exact bus timings yet but please plan to drop cadets off at Camp Chestermere by 5:30pm on Friday and pick up around 3:00pm on Sunday
  • This is a mandatory activity so please let me know if your cadet is unable to make it for some reason. This weekend cadets will be learning and improving upon their field skill knowledge including map & compass, navigation, building shelters, and survival skills.
 
MONDAY OCT 16TH – Parade Night

  • Cadets will be provided with lunch on all days
  • Dress: Full Dress Uniform
  • It is mandatory that all cadets go to at least 1 day, but can attend more if they are able
  • Attached is a form that needs to be filled out so we can get an idea of how many cadets and parent drivers we will have for each day; please hand this in to an officer or email back to me by Oct 23rd at the latest
 
MONDAY OCT 23RD & 30TH – Parade Nights
  • Dress: Field Training Uniform (FTU)
