Announcements: Week of Sept 23, 2025 (Updated 2025/09/24)

Welcome Back Everyone!

Here are your weekly announcements, including some important start-up information for the fall.

Annual Validation Forms
A reminder that all returning cadets must complete their annual validation paperwork before resuming cadet activities. These forms only take a few minutes, but without them, you will not be able to participate in training. This is especially important for anyone requiring an updated Health Questionnaire (DHQ). Please note that DHQs must be submitted and approved before cadets can take part in activities outside of regular Tuesday training nights. To avoid delays, complete your questionnaire as soon as possible so it can be processed quickly.

New Cadet Enrollment
Our enrollment process has been updated. New cadets should now complete the online application first. Supporting documents will still need to be brought in for staff to confirm.

Website Calendar Update
Our website calendar has been refreshed! We’ve switched to an Outlook-based calendar that integrates more effectively with the Cadet365 platform. If you were previously subscribed to our Google calendar, please unsubscribe and add the new Outlook version. The Google calendar will no longer be updated or supported. If you notice any issues with the new calendar, let staff know so we can resolve them.

Spread the Word
As we kick off the new year, please reach out to other cadets and families you know to ensure they’re aware that training has started and that they’re receiving updates and announcements. We also encourage you to invite others to join our program—it’s a great time to get involved! Registration is open until the end of May, and cadets can join anytime on or after their 12th birthday.
