CO’s Monthly Message:
We are off to a great year! Welcome to the few new cadets that have joined us recently. Coming up we have a tour of the local RCMP station followed by an afternoon at the pool. For most events in the past, attendance has been high and our activities have run smoothly. We continue to plan extra training opportunities and are looking for ways to enhance the training experience for all. This will be a bit of a challenging year as we transition with an interim Commanding Officer. Please remember that most correspondence is done through Cadet 365 and Teams. If you are having trouble with these platforms, please reach out so we can get this resolved. Thank-you for your patience and your efforts in making this another great training year.
