Important Information for Return to In-Person Training

Hi Everyone,

I am excited to announce that the Chain of Command has authorized the return to in-person training this month.  The adult staff and senior cadets are excited to welcome cadets back to the Cartier Square Drill Hall. This was announced last Wednesday night at the end of our Escape Room Activity (A fun way to wrap up this last period of virtual training).

Some important information for cadets and parents/guardians. With the changing COVID-19 conditions the following protocols are still in effect for our training:

  • Social distancing, facemasks, sanitation protocols, COVID-19 screening, and contract tracing are still in effect. If changes are made to these policies, we will share them with you as soon as possible.

  • The cadet program still does not require COVID-19 vaccination proof but will respect the requirements of any facilities used that do request them.

  • The owner of the building we parade in only allows for cadets and CAF members to access the building. No visitors are allowed.

  • Cadets and staff with COVID-19 symptoms and or a positive COVID-19 test must report it to the Commanding Officer.  Potential exposures will be shared with parents/guardians.

With the pandemic still changing we still ask for everyone’s patience and understanding with any changes/cancellations that may still occur with training activities.

We ask everyone cadets and parent guardians to always check our website under “Important Information” on the main page before going to cadets to ensure there are no cancellations.  We strive to make these decisions with as much notice, and we do our best to communicate last-minute cancellations via the website, private Facebook group, and via phone calls.

As a reminder, the website is our primary method of sharing information regarding training activities, updates, and information.  The private Facebook group is leveraged for last-minute reminders or announcements.

If cadets and parents/guardians have any questions specific to COVID-19, please feel free to contact me via email.  Looking forward to seeing everyone next week!
