Easter Trip 2019

The Squadron will be offering a citizenship trip to Edmonton AB, during the Easter break April 22-26 2019.  Each Cadet will be asked to provide a non refundable commitment fee of $200.00 to secure their spot on the tour. This payment will be made to the parent support group before March 18, 2019.

This fee will help to offset the cost of the tour and to guarantee your spot. A detail planning meeting will take place on Monday Feb 4 to finalize the tour details.
