Important Information

Make sure you dress for the weather. It is always considerably more cold on the flight line. This includes wearing boots as the airfield (which we will be spending most of our time on) is currently very wet.

Cadets not dressed for the weather and that do not have proper foot wear will not be flying and will be sent home.

Make sure to bring:

• Health Card
• Water bottle
• Snacks
• Toque, gloves/mitts if needed
• Jacket
• Boots

All cadets;

Our Squadron will be going to Canadian Forces Base Borden for the day. We will be taking a bus from Welland and returning the same day. There will be no cost to this trip.

We are hoping for maximum participation in this exciting opportunity to tour some of the base facilities and play some sports.

Tentative timing: 0700–1800 hrs.
Bus pickup location: TBA
Bus timing: TBA
Dress: TBA

A special thank you to all Cadets, Officers and parents that participated in our Easter weekend tagging event.

With Tagging behind us, we need to switch gears to focus on our next fundraising event. We will be holding a Purse Bingo on April 26, 2024 at the Welland Legion. Tickets for this event are SOLD OUT.

We still need your help to make this event a success.
