Niagara Garrison Exercise Announcements

Hello parents,

We hope you’re as excited as we are about the Garrison event happening tomorrow. Here are some important updates and details:

Updates:

1. Parent Dropoff: Please bring your cadets to Chippawa between 5:00 PM and 5:30 PM (instead of just 5:00 PM).
2. Cash for Canteen: Cadets should have $5 in cash for the canteen on Saturday. This $5 covers a set combo of items.
3. Weather: The forecast predicts rain, so ensure your cadet has rain gear (ponchos are excellent, and you can find them at the Dollar Store). Additionally, pack extra warm clothing and socks. Cadets without the multi-purpose FTU boots should wear civilian winter boots or something similar.
4. Nighttime: It will get cold at night, and the cadets will be sleeping in tents. Please make sure your cadet has extra warm blankets alongside their sleeping bag.
