Policy Update:

In an effort to minimize water and dirt tracked into the school from outside during winter weather, ALL CADETS will wear outdoor shoes and change into their parade boots immediately upon entering the school. Cadets will also bring a plastic bag to place their shoes neatly along the right hand side (east side) of the hallway between the main door and the parade square as you walk towards the parade square. No wet shoes will be permitted on the parade square.


Recruiting:

778 Banshee Squadron's recruiting for the 2011-2012 Training Year has been completed as of October 13, 2011. Anyone still wishing to join a squadron for this year is encouraged to seek out one of our neighbouring squadrons. This information can be found on the website of the Ontario Provincial Committee of the Air Cadet League, www.aircadetleague.on.ca.
