For those cadets that have signed up please ensure you bring a water bottle and snacks. You will be given an opportunity for a break and to go get something to eat. For the cadets on the shifts during the day, it is supposed to be hot, make sure you wear sunscreen. All cadets are to be in summer dress and are allowed to wear their cadet fleece if necessary.
Submit your lesson plans to cbowman@niagaracollege.ca or in-person at the cadet hall.
In this issue, you will find updates about a new medal for youth, and a new risk management tool for staff, as well as some information about how Group Orders are making policies easier to access. Readers are also invited to share their thoughts about how to improve the summer experience for staff cadets on our social media idea boards.
A special thank you to those cadets (and parents) who took time out of their busy schedules on Saturday to attend the re-dedication ceremony of the WW1 Cenotaph and unveiling of the refurbished Trench Mortar in front of the Old Pelham Town Hall. The hour or so we spent there in the rain to honour those who fought for us seems to pale in comparison to the sacrifices made by the men and women who fought and died for our country.
