We are excited to welcome back all our cadets and parents/guardians to this new training year. We know you have many questions and rest assured you will get answers soon.
As directed by our Chain-of-Command the cadet program in our region can only re-start limited in-person training starting October 2021. Currently, all the 2784 staff and senior cadets are working hard at planning and organizing a return to training for October.
We are waiting for a critical regional meeting at the end of the month that will provide us with further guidance based on how the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. We will be given further instructions on if we are proceeding with limited in-person training, blended, or virtual training, and supporting policies/procedures. Once that meeting is conducted, we will provide everyone with the updated information.
In the meantime, we are working to roll out the following information and procedures to support a smooth transition to in-person training:
Procedures for uniform exchange;
Emailing of annual validation forms;
Development of a reference guide on the COVID-19 procedures that will be implemented at the unit; and
Tracking of completion of the COVID-19 Awareness Course for all cadets (instructions are on the website main page under “Important Notices”.)
All important COVID-19 information can be found here.
Next Steps
In the meantime, while we start to roll out the activities mentioned above, we ask you to:
Cadets – Complete the COVID-19 Awareness Course if you have not done so already.
Cadets – Join us and CWO Nguyen virtually on September 22nd and for a "Welcome Back Social” and catch up with what everyone was doing this summer (CAP Training/ VCTC/ etc.).
Cadet/Parents – Check your emails for the “Cadet Annual Validation Form” and complete and return as soon as possible.
Cadet/Parents – Staff callouts to all registered cadets are being conducted to pass on additional important information.
We are excited to get this new training year started and we continue to thank everyone for their patience and flexibility as we navigate these unprecedented times.
