Reminder for Tagging Tomorrow & OPC Tickets

Reminder of what the uniform means:

Reminder to be on your best behaviour while tagging; while wearing a uniform you are representing not only yourself and the cadets, but also the women and men that served and continue to serve our country. You might be surprised to learn the background of the person you are asking for donations from, the uniform might mean a lot to them. Keep in mind the public is watching you, and we want to continue to have reports of awesome behaviour from our cadets. Be proud to wear a uniform!

Reminder for OPC ticket books tomorrow:

For any cadets that have yet to submit OPC tickets, please bring them to the Seaway Mall tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
