Survey on feasibility of creating a French Air Cadet Squadron in Ottawa.
For some some time now there has been a project to stat a French unit in Ottawa to accommodate those want to participate in the air cadet program in French in Ottawa. After some with the Air Cadet league, a survey has been created by our chain of command to poll cadets, parents, and adult staff on this project and it’s feasibility. Parents and cadets are encouraged to complete this survey by February 15th.
Drill Team Tryouts
We are recruiting all cadets that are interested in joining the drill team. We practice every Monday evening from 7-9 PM at Pierre-de-Blois Secondary School and will be holding tryouts on Monday, February 12th. No previous experience is necessary, invite your friends!
Drill is a sport that helps to foster teamwork, leadership, physical fitness, discipline, and creativity. Being part of the drill team allows cadets to master the basic drill movements used during Thursday training nights and learn how to perform more challenging drill movements on the march.
Every year, a cadet commander is selected to lead the drill team through a tryout process. They will be responsible for teaching the cadets a compulsory sequence – a series of advanced drill movements that will be called out by the drill commander – and a silent sequence – a choreographed drill sequence that is performed by cadets without the use of commands.
