Update Re: COVID-19

Good afternoon everyone,

In light of current events, I wanted to provide some direction as to what our local Squadron is doing regarding the COVID-19 virus. With that said, there will be an official statement from National Cadet and Junior Rangers Support Group (aka Formation) forthcoming. Once that is received, it will be posted on our website.

Locally;

1. Current activities will go on as planned. Although you may have heard that International recreational trips are currently suspended by Formation until April 20th, this does not affect any of our activities locally, or regionally.
   —
2. If you are sick, stay home. We ask that all cadets, parents, and visitors to please stay home if not feeling well. That includes a cough or a fever. This is good practice all the time. Cadets can use this form to request an excused absence, and will not be penalized for their absence.
   —
3. Hand sanitizer is available at the front door when you enter the building. We ask all cadets and visitors to use this as they enter the building, or to promptly wash their hands in the bathrooms.
   —
4. Prevention is key, proper hand washing technique (20 seconds with warm water and soap) is our best defence for any virus. This is especially important before eating.

In lighter news, we are looking forward to a successful CO Parade tonight. Parents/guardians picking up their cadets are invited to come early (8:15PM) to observe.

See everyone tonight.
