Attention all Parents/Guardians
There has been an increase of parents/guardians parking in the fenced area of the armouries, this can not happen and you will risk being towed. Please park on the street, the compound is for staff and volunteers only.
Parents/Guardians, we all love spending time with your cadets, however we have had a number of cadets who we are left waiting for you to pick up. We ask that you are prompt at picking up them at the end of an activity, please sign up for our Facebook group as we post delays for activities on there. Thanks very much for your continued support of this program.

Cadet 365
Every cadet has a Cadet 365 account for Microsoft that is used for communication in the cadet program. All cadets should download Microsoft Teams and Outlook as well as other Microsoft 365 application to easily access this. It is important to enable notifications and check regularly to ensure that nothing is missed. For those who have already logged on, please ensure that you are using it. The training team will be working on getting the rest of the squadron their log-in information over the next few weeks and will discuss how to access it with each level. Once you have your account information, you can check out the following website for onboarding instructions and help. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/cadets-junior-canadian-rangers/cadets/cadet-o365/cadet-onboarding.html
