All;
As announced last week, we are currently on stand down due to rising COVID numbers in Niagara, Specifically, when looking at point prevalence of active cases per 100,000 people.
Until cases come down, or direction changes, our orders are to stand down in-person training.
With that said, this weeks Wednesday Parade night is postponed. We are working with the senior cadets and staff to determine what virtual training would look like before returning to in-person.
We hope this is a very temporary measure. Until then, be safe!
Capt C. Bowman
Commanding Officer
All;
This weekend has been forecasted to be wet and cold, with possible snow on Sunday. Due to this being the first FTX in 2 years, and with lack of shelter for the cadets, we are modifying what is happening this weekend.
Instead of a 2 day FTX, we are going with our contingency plan of indoor training on Saturday only. This heavily changes how we can safely run the day, as everyone will be indoors, so please see the following schedule.
We will be running indoor range (marksmanship) in cohorts by level. Please see the list below to determine when you need to be at the cadet hall. Arrive no later than your scheduled start time and be prepared to wait in your vehicle as cadets will not be permitted into the hall until their start time.
0830—1000hrs: Level 2
1000—1200hrs: Level 3
1230—1600hrs: Level 1
1600—1800hrs: Level 4
Level 5s: We are asking you to be there during the day to help (and shoot throughout the day); see Teams for details.
Dress: FTUs or civilian clothing (we will be indoors)
Bring: Health card, water bottle, proof of vaccination, completed screening, mask
Screening: Complete the screening and bring in the result (or show on your phone): https://covid-19.ontario.ca/school-screening/
Enjoy the weekend,
Capt C. Bowman
