The Cadet Program is one of the largest federally sponsored youth programs in Canada. It is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities.
All cadets;
Our Squadron will be going to Canadian Forces Base Borden for the day. We will be taking a bus from Welland and returning the same day. There will be no cost to this trip.
We are hoping for maximum participation in this exciting opportunity to tour some of the base facilities and play some sports.
Tentative timing: 0700–1800 hrs.
Bus pickup location: TBA
Bus timing: TBA
Dress: TBA
