On Tuesday March 24th, 2990 was excited to have former cadet MWO MacDonald and some of his fellow classmates from Niagara College come and speak to our cadets about various Emergency Services programs that are available. Bringing equipment and offering demonstrations on what they do and opportunities available. It is always great to have former Cadets come back and talk to our Cadets about their future. A huge shout out goes to The Team from Niagara College. Cadets Canada

On Saturday February 28th, 2990 held our Winter FTX at Camp Manitou. It was a chance for cadets to put to use the lessons they have learned during training nights and get practical hands on experience. The day was filled with fun and memories that will carry cadets through their cadet careers. Congratulations to our senior and ALP cadets under the supervision of Lt Kallassma for their hard work in making this a successful and fun event for all involved.
