Welcome to 704 Air Force City Cadet Squadron!
Important Reminders
Cadets are not to wear outdoor shoes into the school. Cadets are to carry their boots into the school to be put on after they are inside.
Cadets are not to wear civilian jackets with their unifom. All cadets have been issued with a parka and are to wear that. If you need a new parka, speak with the Supply Officer on Monday evening.
Parents are allowed and encouraged to come into the school gym to listen to the closing parade announcements at the end of each training night. We are aware that Cadets can sometimes forget to pass on information so this is another way to stay informed about what is happening in the squadron.
OPC Lottery Tickets: The sale of these tickets benefit our Squadron so we are able to attend trips and optional activities. Each Cadet is expected to sell one book. As we did last year, our Sponsoring Committee would like $60.00 up front for the book of tickets. When the tickets are sold, return only the stubs and keep the money. There are still more than 15 books of tickets that have not been picked up. Please do your part to help the squadron raise much needed funds.
If you are unable to attend training on a Monday night or an event that you have signed up for, you need to call or text the squadron at 613-921-7047 or report your absence on the squadron website. Click here. Commenting on Facebook or telling a friend are NOT acceptable means of reporting your absence. This is the Cadets responsibility not their parents.
Please add the following events to your calendar for the 2019-2020 Training Year:
