Welcome to 351 Silver Star Squadron!

Recruiting 2020
351 is expected to hold recruiting event(s) for new joiners in early September. The new year will see the use of a combination of in-person and remote training to confirm with public health recommendations.

It is required for new joiners to attend one of the recruiting events with completed forms (to be published) and supporting documents.

Due to the on-going safety measures, the exact format is unknown at this point. Please check back closer to Sept for more information.
