OPC Lottery – Parents Survey

The Parents Sponsoring committee is asking all parents to please fill out the following survey regarding the OPC Lottery:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Y995ZNB

We’re conducting a survey and your input would be appreciated. At the meeting between the OPC Board of Governors, Directors, SSC and associated DND personnel in August of 2016 at the Canadian Forces College in Toronto, a significant number of those in attendance indicated that they favoured investigating replacing the lottery as a means of raising funds for both OPC and the SSC. This survey is designed to gauge your support for keeping, or eliminating, the OPC lottery. The earliest that any change can be implemented would be the 2018 – 2019 cadet training year.

First Night Back – Tomorrow (Sept 6, 2017)

It’s that time of year again, our first night back is tomorrow night (Wednesday, September 6, 2017). I hope everyone had a wonderful summer!

Tomorrow’s parade night will be civilian clothes (no uniforms), and we encourage you to wear either your squadron t-shirts or camp wear.

We are excited to see everyone tomorrow, and a quick reminder that next week is our Open House.
