Calendar & Events For most up-to-date event information, see our calendar above. Any event not listed in our calendar is likely unsanctioned by the 243 Ogopogo Squadron Commanding Officer. Please contact us if you are unsure or have any questions/concerns/comments. -- Expansion of Weekly Training Night - Tues/Wed Due to Public Health Measures this year, limiting the number of participants in the facility to 50 max at any one time, we will be splitting the Training Night to Tuesday and Wednesdays for 2020/2021 Training Year. Cadets are asked to attend only 1 night/week. To ensure siblings are able to attend the same night, carpooling can operate, and other personal measures are taken into account, we had coordinated a submission process for your interest which ended on 25 September. The breakdown for Cadets between Tuesday and Wednesday can be found here. (updated Oct 13) If you need to swap your night for the training year, please connect with the Administration Officer. All requests will be reviewed on a case by case basis and require a reasonable excuse. Training Night Timings can be found here. --

Leadership Bootcamp - November 7, 2020
243 RCACS will be going on a leadership exercise on Saturday Nov 7, 2020. The purpose of the exercise is to learn leadership skills while getting to know each other and having fun. This activity will happen at the Vernon Military Camp D-Lines (Natal Drive, Vernon). You can find the Warning Order here for more information. Registration for New Cadets - 2020/2021 We are currently in process of implementing all health and safety procedures and processes as part of our COVID-19 Safety Plan. If you're interested in joining, please visit our registration page to find the registration paperwork and how to submit them. -- Uniform Exchanges In person sizing and swapping of uniform parts is not permitted at this time. Only virtual orders will be accepted. To ensure we have your size available for when we return to in-person training, please complete the online Uniform Exchange Form here! -- Summer Training 2021 Update We recognize that there may be a lot of questions about summer 2021, but the quick answer is we do not know exactly what summer 2021 will look like. We are planning for all scenarios so we can offer the best experiences to our Program participants. Some of the options we are currently exploring include: Cadet Activity Programs (CAP) during spring break and the summer, virtual courses, hybrid courses (some virtual and in-person components), and in-person CTC courses. All options are subject to change based on the continually evolving situation. We are planning to offer in-person CTC courses, if the situation allows, but it won’t look the same as we were used to. We will be adjusting to be able to adhere to local PHMs and guidelines. The planning priority will be placed on courses that effect the capability of providing quality localized training programs. As we continue to explore an array of options to offer experiences without compromising the safety of the cadets and staff, you can anticipate seeing regular updates about the summer 2021 situation and are encouraged to visit here regularly for updates. -- Music Clinics & Testing 2020 This year's music clinics will be offered in a digital format only. Cadets will register to receive training on one instrument. Theory lessons will be offered on a set schedule and cadets are to be registered in whichever serial is most convenient. Please note that repeat offerings of the same course are NOT new material. Theory lesson dates and timings, click here. |
