22 Oct – Weekly Briefing

We have several changes to our schedule due to Hallowe’en! This Wednesday will be have a spooky theme, so wear a costume (school appropriate-no weapons, masks, or blood) or civvies. Since Hallowe’en falls on a Monday, we will cancel our Band Training for the 31st to reduce traffic around the school.

REMEMBRANCE DAY – 754 Squadron will be participating in the Port Moody Remembrance Day ceremony on Friday 11 November. We have been asked to provide a sentinel for the Cenotaph in front of the Legion as well. It is expected that all cadets, including recruits, attend this parade. We will be meeting at the school around 0900 hrs to issue jackets to new cadets, then will make our way to Kyle Centre for the ceremony. We should be done by approximately 1145 hrs. Parents are welcome to observe the ceremony, but please be advised parking is limited.
