It’s cold outside! Got an extra toque or mitts to spare?

Bring your gently used toques and mitts for this citizenship activity on the Feb 11 Parade, we will be donating them to less fortunate people who need our assistance during this cold winter.


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. Please contact Captain Walton or Mrs. Severt if you have questions or concerns about the fee.

Update: The hotel rooms are reserved and the bus is booked. Some highlights of the trip will be; Water park at the West Ed Mall, Alberta Air Museum, Tour of S.T.A.R.S, Telephone Historical Center (full of retro tech), Mini-Golf, and the science center just to name a few. If you have a interesting activity let us know. Due the activity at the deployment army base we will not be having a base tour this year.
