Canadian Tire in Welland is hosting its annual carwash and BBQ in support of Jumpstart. In the past, we have had cadets volunteer, however, with current restrictions we are unable to have cadets participate.

With that said, we are looking for people with dirty cars and anyone that wants to volunteer their time to help an awesome cause!

Details:

What: Car wash, BBQ, raffle table
Timing: 10am—2pm
Location: Canadian Tire Welland

See your dirty cars tomorrow!

To get ready for summer training:

You need to be setup on the new Cadet365 platform. This replaces our 87eagle.ca Teams.

1. Get rid of the old accounts: Logout of your [username]@87eagle.ca on all your devices. We will no longer be using this account going forward
2. Check your email for your new account: You will have received an email on 1-Jun (check your spam folder) with your username and password (username will look like [firstinitiallastname1234]@cadets.gc.ca)
3. Cannot find the email? If you did not receive this email, you may already have had an account setup from last summer or it didn’t reach you. Send an email to 87air@cadets.gc.ca to request an account.
4. Login to Cadet365: Login in to teams.microsoft.com with your new Cadet365 credentials. Add this to all the devices you want to use for Cadet training and communication. There are mobile apps and desktop apps (search for Microsoft Teams).

Travel itineraries are coming soon, and will be sent out to cadet and parent emails on file.
