Announcements

We are looking for current cadets and past cadets to send us a video (5-20 seconds in length) saying goodbye to our out going Commanding Officer Captain Adam Colbourne.

We are putting together a goodbye video for him as we wont be able to have an official face to face goodbye.

It won't take long to snap the video.

Parents are also welcome to send us you Goodbye Videos to Mrs Rebecca Baglein.

Please send the videos to Mrs Rebecca Baglein at rbaglein"at"hotmail.ca.

Thank you in Advance

• Citizenship Christmas Challenge - Sending letters to our CAF Members that will not be able to be home for Christmas.

Many of us will spend the holidays with our families. Many of our CAF members will not. It would mean a great deal to the CAF members that are posted away if you sent a greeting to them. Only letters, cards, or hand drawn pictures, no other items please. Any letters that contain anything other than this will be returned to sender. Look on Google Classroom for where and when we are collecting the cards.
