November for Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans and cadets is a time of remembrance. As we take time on November 11 to remember the fallen soldiers who have risked their lives to fight for our freedoms. As such, we have activities to help commemorate those.
National Poppy Campaign, November 6-7
Our cadets will be at a couple of local stores around Downtown Ottawa and participating in the National Poppy Campaign. Cadets will be volunteering their time to sell poppies to the public. We are looking for volunteers for the AM (0900-1300hrs) or PM (1200-1700hrs) on both days.
Cadets will be paired with a senior cadet (16+, Gold Star+) and with a cell phone. For more information and how you can sign up, check out the post here.
National Remembrance Day Ceremony
Each year, we march alongside the Canadian Armed Forces during the National Remembrance Day Ceremony held in Downtown Ottawa. During this parade, thousands from across the country gather to commemorate the fallen soldiers. We are looking for cadets to participate in the parade on November 11 in the morning. For more information and how you can sign up, check out the post here.
With all these activities, you are able sign for Community Service Hours. If you would like to wear your uniform to school for any Remembrance Day activities, you must have authorization from the Commanding Officer.
