Supply Night – Uniform Support for Remembrance Day
This week’s Supply Night is reserved for cadets attending Remembrance Day services on Monday. All levels who plan to parade at a Remembrance Day ceremony and need help with their uniform (new or with up sizing, missing parts, etc.) should report to Supply at Dymon Storage Kanata, this Friday, between 6:30pm and 8:00pm.
Remember to bring only one parent (due to limited space in the facility) and a bag to carry your kit home. Also, no baggy clothes or excessive layers, so cadets can try things on.
Next Friday will be the makeup Supply Night for those Level 1s who missed their original call up nights and need their initial uniforms.
Questions, please contact the Supply O via Teams.
