The Cadet organization is committed to the safety of our cadets and staff. We understand everyone's desire to be together and will strive to do so when the health-risk drops to an acceptable level.

Weekly virtual training will commence (with the exception of holidays).

Any COVID test and/or required isolation are to be reported to the squadron via the Contact Us page as soon as tests and/or isolation is advised; and again when test results are available.
