Category: General Updates

All Cadet families;

Due to the weather forecast (possible thunderstorms), we had to make the decision today to MOVE our Annual Ceremonial Review (ACR) from our Cadet hall to our Plan B – the Port Colborne Arena (Vale Health & Wellness Centre).

Cadet Timings

New location: 550 Elizabeth St, Port Colborne, ON L3K 5W3
Timing: 0830hrs (8:30AM) arrival

CADETS PLEASE REMEMBER:

Bring your ENTIRE Uniform, the Staff will assess the conditions tomorrow and will decide on the dress of the day before the ACR starts.

Bring a full REFILLABLE water bottle.

Guest timing

New location: 550 Elizabeth St, Port Colborne, ON L3K 5W3
Timing: Arrive at 1345hrs (1:45PM) for a 1400hrs (2:00PM) start of the ACR

GUESTS PLEASE NOTE:

The rink does NOT have seating so every guest, bring your own lawn chair if you wish to sit during the ACR.

Additionally, the ice has been removed from rink, therefore there is NO air conditioning, so guests are advised to dress lightly and comfortable for the warm conditions, and like our cadets, we recommend that you bring a refillable water bottle.

Good afternoon all,

Due to the weather we will be in summer dress for tonight’s parade night. Dress: 3CB

Thank you and see you all tonight!

All cadets and cadet families;

Please read the following 3 points:

Work on uniforms this week, especially BOOTS!

We will not have time to work on uniforms on Saturday. The Annual Ceremonial Review is a formal parade, and dress must look exceptional.

It is recommended for spectators to arrive at 1330hrs to grab seating, ready for 1400hrs parade start. Please bring chairs as we do not have enough to accommodate all guests.
