Friendly reminder: Drop off/Pick up from cadet activities
The safety of our cadets/staff/volunteers is priority. We kindly ask that drivers exercise caution and patience in the parking lot. Winter weather conditions may delay drop off/pick up.
Please plan ahead for transportation to and from cadet activities. It is important that cadets be picked up at the specified end time of activities. Beyond this, cadets/staff must wait outside when there is no access to buildings regardless of weather conditions. We thank you for your continued support and collaboration.
Tip: always check the website Announcements and Calendar prior to an activity to familiarize with the start/end times and any pertinent details.

Please read the details carefully posted on Calendar. Cadets need to be dressed for the cold weather as they will be outside (winter jacket, hat, mitts, etc.) NOTE: Cadets will be notified via email if weather conditions do not permit flying/cancellation of the day.
If you are no longer available to attend, you MUST email Lt Chan as soon as possible so we can offer the spot to another cadet.
