COVID-19 UPDATE - CANCELLATIONS AND POSTPONEMENTS FOR 2020

We have received new information from the Region as to what the cadet program is doing moving forward for the next month. Here are the major points that need to be highlighted:

  1. All cadet activities, including local training are cancelled until 30 April 2020. The next update as to whether the cancellation will be extended beyond that date is expected to issue on Thursday, 23 April 2020. In addition, all cadet outbound international exchanges / training opportunities and recreational trips are also cancelled through to the end August 2020. If you have any cadets who were selected for Army Cadet Rifle Team, Maple Leaf Exchange, Voyage through History, all international Sea and Air cadet exchanges, please ensure that they are made aware of this cancellation.

  2. Regional Marksmanship Competition (at a later date there may be a possibility that this could be conducted as a postal shoot – this has not been confirmed at this time).

  3. OSLA Band & Drill competition scheduled for 2 May 2020 has been postponed at this time, with no new date identified at this time, as this decision will be made once a decision is made with respect to the current stand down beyond 30 April 2020).

  4. Engagement with Staff / Cadets - Corps / Sqns are encouraged to continue to engage their staff and cadets through remote / virtual means to maintain a link to the cadet program. The Staff team has been brainstorming ideas to keep you, the cadets, engaged. To be Continue !!!

Last point I wanted to make is let’s remember that we are trying to make the best out of a bad situation. If you have any suggestions of activities, I am more then willing to listen. Let’s keep in touch during these crazy times.
