Sunday:

Helicopter Familiarization Flying – Meet at the armoury at 7:30 AM. Transportation by bus will be provided. We will be touring 403 helicopter squadron at CFB Gagetown. Dress for the event will be civilian clothing with squadron t-shirt. Lunch will be provided. Bring a bottle of water and a jacket. The bus will be returning to the armoury for 5:30 PM. All cadets are strongly encouraged to attend. This is the first time that the squadron has had the opportunity to fly in helicopters in over 20 years and will likely be a one-time opportunity for the cadets.

Monday:

Duke of Edinburgh Meeting – 7:00 PM at the armoury (upstairs classroom with Capt Dickison). Dress is civilian. Bring your log book if you have received it.

This week was the last training night until September. We are currently working on a tentative training calendar for our next training year. This will be sent out in the coming weeks. Information about travel times etc. for those attending summer training will be passed on once it becomes available.

Thanks again to everyone for helping to make this past training year a success! Enjoy the summer!
