Hello Everyone


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and enjoyed a week off from training.  It is always good to recharge our batteries with rest, family time, and good food.

 

We are now approaching the Remembrance Day season where we take time to remember and honour those who have served our country both in war and in peacetime, in the past and in the present.  We have several activities coming up, where 2818 cadets can participate and complete community service hours:


  1. Sat Oct 26:  Poppy Distribution with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 99 on Highland Ave from 8:30 to 12:00 noon.  Parents will be required to help drive their cadets to their locations and return them with their poppy boxes to the Legion.  We have a couple of cadets who have expressed their commitment, however we need many more.  Dress is C1 or FTU in lieu of C1.


  2. Sat Nov 9:  No Stone Left Alone, Belleville Cemetery 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm with 608 Belleville Air Cadets.  We will be honouring those who are buried there - close to 350 people at this site alone.  Dress is C1 or FTU in lieu of C1.


  3. Mon Nov 11:  Remembrance Day service at Belleville Cenotaph 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.  Dress is C1 or FTU in lieu of C1.


  4. Royal Canadian Legion Education Program:  several weeks ago, I sent an email where cadets can write an essay or poem or draw a picture and submit to a contest with case prizes. Several cadets have expressed interest - please submit your entries soon. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.


We are continuing to update files through the Annual Validation forms, Detailed Health Questionnaires and OHIP card updates.  If your cadet's file is still open in any of these areas, please expect a phone call from one of our staff, as we need to update their file before November 1.


If your cadet is not returning to training this year, please advise and return all uniforms and parts to the corps asap.

 

Weekly Training:  Mon Oct 21 - 1800 - 2100 hrs Belleville Armouries. Regular training night

Please bring in any uniform parts that don't fit.

 

Cadets are recommended to bring water bottles if they are to use the new water fountain. Please reach out to the Support Committee at Canteen if you don't have a 2818 Water bottle.

If a cadet cannot attend an activity, please call the unit phone number at 613-966-2123 and leave a message on the voicemail.
