53 CE Monty DFC, Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron

We are proud to introduce a new Online Registration Tool to make the registration process easier to join cadets! Parents/guardians and prospective cadets can now visit our website at www.canada.ca/join-cadets to receive information to help them start the registration process.

The tool will gather their contact information as well as the unit they are interested in joining and forward it to the corps/squadrons’ generic mailbox. Corps and squadrons will then be able to contact the parent/guardian to answer any questions and arrange for the completion of the registration process.

This is the first release of the new Online Registration Tool. It is the first of many improvements meant to support the current registration process, it does not replace the required documentation or FORTRESS data entry requirements. The Online Registration Tool will continue to evolve to streamline the current registration process.

Tonight we had some class time evaluations! To some that may sound very boring and a long night but evaluations are very important for the soon to be instructors to know what they could improve on, for the seniors to evaluate then can also be helpful since they can also learn from this experience! Was a successful and productive night! See everyone next week!
