Effective Speaking continues on November 15 from 1830-2000 hours at the hangar. Appropriate civilian attire is required – no uniforms!
“Effective Communication Team,
Please remember your speech for next Monday should be in the two minute range (new cadets shorter is okay). Your topic is “my perfect day”.
Anything goes, there are no constraints. So if you want breakfast at Whistler with a couple of runs, followed by lunch at Disneyland with 3 rides on the Indiana Jones ride followed by a sail in the warm waters of Hawaii, followed by dinner with Santa at the North Pole. Well that’s all good and fine. Use descriptive phrases and have some fun. Remember it’s your Perfect Day.
November 16 – Regular Parade – All cadets will wear Field Training Uniform (and wedge). Refer to your Parent Handbook for uniform and dress standards.
November 10 – Candlelight ceremony 1530-1700 hrs at QB legion
6 Cadets are needed.
Please contact to Capt. Aumonier if you are interested 893air@cadets.gc.ca
We need some help getting rid of our ever growing pile of bottles! We appreciate all the bottle donations but we do not have a BOTTLE DRIVE planned yet and it’s out of control and we need to take care of the problem! A bag wasn’t tied when I popped by the hangar today and there were bottles and cans blown every where. We need a few volunteers to count and bag them, then take the bags to the Parksville Bottle Depot…where we have an account 🙂 Please email me if you are interested in helping 893air@gmail.com

We will be proceeding with the FTX tomorrow unless the forecast deteriorates from what is currently projected. Ensure you dress for the weather with rain protection, toque and gloves.
A water bottle is mandatory and a spare pair of socks recommended.

Please see the note (below) and attachment from the Air Cadet League of Canada:
Thanks to historian Mike Symons and his assistant, Gary Gratrix, we would like to introduce you to “In the News”, a glimpse into the history of the air cadet program! Have a great weekend!
Between the weather and some other unforeseen circumstances, we have made the decision to postpone Sunday’s FTX as well.
We will see you all on Monday (if you are attending Effective Speaking) and Tuesday (for regular training).
The weather is looking terrible on Saturday with a rainfall warning with 35-45 mm of rain. As such, we have made the decision to postpone training on Saturday as it won’t be much fun in the rain! We plan to go ahead with training on Sunday from 0830 – 1730 hrs, however, please continue to monitor the website in case we have to cancel that as well due to weather. We don’t mind being outside with a few showers, however, a torrential downpour is no fun!
FTU (Field Training Uniform), will be the order of dress this weekend at Operation – Back to Nature at CFMETR in Nanoose Bay. If your cadet does not have FTU, appropriate civilian attire is required. Please check the website for the recommended kit list and don’t forget a spare mask.
Drop off is at the main gate at CFMETR at 0830 hrs. If you are not familiar with the location, Google will be your friend if you search “CFMETR.”
