Congratulations to the Orienteering Team who had fantastic results at the recent competition. Three of our Cadets qualified for the next level of the Cadet Orienteering Competition.
Important Reminders:
#1 - Air Cadet League of Canada - Ontario Provincial Committee ("OPC") Lottery Tickets: The sale of these tickets are used to maintain the Air Cadet Gliders and Tow Planes. A portion of the sale of these tickets is returned to the Squadron. There is no registration fee to join the Air Cadet Program, in turn Cadets are asked to take part in the Squadron Tag Days (Fall and Spring) and to Sell at least one book of OPC Tickets. *** It is very important that each and every Cadet take part in selling a book of tickets and take part in both fall and spring Tag Days.**** There are many books of OPC Lottery Tickers left to sell. If the Cadets do not sell the tickets, the Squadron must pay for them from our Tag Day Fund. PLEASE HELP OUT AND SELL AT LEAST ONE BOOK OF TICKETS. Cadets who sell at least one book of OPC Lottery Tickers and attend Tag Days will be given a discount on the cost of busing on Squadron Trips.
#2 - Marc Garneau is a nut free school. DO NOT bring any snacks or items containing any type of nut into the school.
