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

It is amazing what we can achieve when we work together. Together we raised over $22,500.00. ­

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.

Volunteers needed to:

Donate bake goods for our Bake Table. Donated bake goods can be sent with your cadet on Wednesday April 24, 2024.

And/Or

Donate an item for our Penny Sale Table

If you have any questions please reach out to Natalie Foster at nfoster498@gmail.com.

Important Note:

Next Parent Sponsoring Committee meeting will be held on Wednesday April 17, 2024 at 6:30 p.m.

Parents – What can you do?

• Make sure your cadet has eaten before their tagging shift, and they bring a water bottle to keep hydrated. 
• Make sure your cadet dresses for the weather. They may wear their cadet issued or civilian winter jacket or toque. Gloves should be black if possible.
• Check on your cadet routinely during their tagging shift.
• Please remain with your child until their cadet partner has arrive/left.
