CO’s Monthly Message:

Our last parade night will be our year end BBQ at Blackburn Park. Civilian dress will be the dress of the night. We will also be having our Change of Command Parade where Capt. Peter will be relinquishing her command and Lt. Lukan will be taking on Command of 222 Shuswap. 

Staff are looking into next year’s training program. We hope to be able to provide a very active year. If any cadets have ideas as to activities they would like to see planned, please speak with a Staff member. Some things we are looking into include a day at the KF Centre for Excellence, among other activities. There are already Gliding Days scheduled at our very own local Salmon Arm Airport-which is fantastic news-it means no more early morning bus ride to Oliver!

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.
