Category: General Updates

To get ready for summer training:

You need to be setup on the new Cadet365 platform. This replaces our 87eagle.ca Teams.

1. Get rid of the old accounts: Logout of your [username]@87eagle.ca on all your devices. We will no longer be using this account going forward
2. Check your email for your new account: You will have received an email on 1-Jun (check your spam folder) with your username and password (username will look like [firstinitiallastname1234]@cadets.gc.ca)
3. Cannot find the email? If you did not receive this email, you may already have had an account setup from last summer or it didn’t reach you. Send an email to 87air@cadets.gc.ca to request an account.
4. Login to Cadet365: Login in to teams.microsoft.com with your new Cadet365 credentials. Add this to all the devices you want to use for Cadet training and communication. There are mobile apps and desktop apps (search for Microsoft Teams).

Travel itineraries are coming soon, and will be sent out to cadet and parent emails on file.

Attached below are the joining instructions for CTC cadets

In partnership with Carmichaels Meats we are running a dry meats fundraiser for the Jumpstart Program. This is the same pepperoni that we have been selling for the last two years, bringing in funds to help support our Squadron. The same quality product that we’ve had many, many requests to keep bringing back.

Jumpstart helps provide opportunities to children in our community that cannot afford to participate in youth programs such as sports and cadets. In previous years, we have been able to run a car wash that benefitted Jumpstart.

We are asking cadets and cadet families to step up and help. Part of our program is to teach good citizenship, promote physical fitness and to help our community. Now let’s apply some of that Air Cadet spirit to support even more kids!

All items are $10 each: Pepperettes, Mini Salami, and Beef Jerky

Orders due: June 8^th at 1100hrs
Order pickup: June 9^th 1600–1900hrs at the Canadian Tire Welland Service Centre
Payment: Submitted to Rob Foster at the Canadian Tire Welland Service Centre.

We ran this fundraiser before with good results. The quality of the product is excellent!
