Good day, 577! It is that time of year again. The 577 RCACS training year for 2025-2026 is about to commence! Our annual Validation and Registration Night is scheduled for September 2nd, 2025, from 1830 to 2100 hours. During this period, current cadets and their parents are required to attend in order to complete the annual paperwork, update personal information, renew health questionnaires, exchange uniform pieces, and so forth. Once the paperwork has been completed, cadets are free to leave for the evening, as there will be no formal training that night. Senior cadets, including those advancing to Level 4 training, are requested to remain from 1900 to 2030 hours for briefings and to review expectations. If your cadet is not going to be returning to the squadron this year please bring their uniform back and inform unit staff so we can close out your file.This evening will also serve as our Recruitment Night, where we will begin accepting new cadets into the program. Please inform family and friends about our exceptional program and encourage them to join. Our official first night of training will be on September 9th, starting at 1830 hours. Additional activities for the year have been added to our calendar on the website, including confirmed weekend training events. We advise you to review the calendar and mark these dates accordingly. Optional evening activities will be added gradually as they are finalized. If you have any questions, please contact the squadron staff at 577air@cadets.gc.ca. We are excited to see you all back! Regards, 577 Staff
