REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONIES
Please see the instructions for Saturday:
Dress is C1 (Ceremonial) – cadets should wear the blue uniform with all parts – tie etc – and the Air Cadet Parka (both inner and outer). Bring your Air Cadet toque and black mitts/gloves. Any cadet who has not been issued a parka or a toque should wear an appropriate civilian coat and bring a similar hat if desired.
If a cadet is missing parade boots but has everything else, they should wear FTU boots or the closest thing they have in a civilian pattern. If they do not have a blue uniform that fits, they should wear nice pants, collared shirt, and a coat – not FTU, as that is too casual for Remembrance Day.

The cadets selected to participate in the National Remembrance Day Ceremony have been contacted directly by email and on Teams. The cadets marching in the parade are asked to meet in front of City Hall at 0845h. Parents and family are invited to attend the Indigenous Veterans Remembrance Day Ceremony, which will be held at 9 a.m. at the National Aboriginal Veterans Monument in Confederation Park, downtown Ottawa. Recommended dress is business attire for civilians (with medals for Veterans), 1A for CAF members. All are welcome to attend the Ceremony.
Thank you to all cadets, staff and SSC members who have assisted with Poppy Sales over the past week. This is a major fundraiser for the Royal Canadian Legion, which is a big supporter of the Canadian Cadet Organizations.

CADET365 ONBOARDING
Most cadets should now have received their CADET365 credentials at the email address provided on their registration forms. If you have not received them yet, please check the junk/spam folder. If you joined more than 4 weeks ago and have not received this information and have checked the spam folder, please email 872aviation@cadets.gc.ca from the address indicated on the sign up form (the one where you expect to receive the credentials).
As a reminder, CADET365 is for cadet use only. Accounts are not to be accessed by anybody other than the intended cadet. It is accessible on mobile phones, tablets, as a desktop app, or through a desktop browser. It is not necessary for a cadet to have their own cell phone in order to access CADET365 or to use the Authenticator.
Similarly, when filling in sign-up forms, it is important that is the cadet who is signing up, with parental/guardian permission, and that they understand they are expected to participate in the activity unless they are advised that they are on a wait list or the event changes. If a cadet is unable to attend an activity for which they have registered, they must contact their chain of command to advise them and/or submit an absence notification.
All cadets should also take the online cyber security course if they have not already done so.
PRESENTATION BY ASTRONAUT JEREMY HANSON – 5 DECEMBER 2023
The Canadian Space Agency has offered to host an online call with astronaut Jeremy Hansen on Dec 5. 51 Sqn will host the call in the auditorium at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, from 1900h-2000h. They have graciously invited ten cadets and one staff member from our squadron to attend in person. They will share the link to the Teams meeting for others to join online.
We will open the in-person opportunity to two cadets from each level. Interested cadets should submit a letter of approximately 250 words via email to 872aviation@cadets.gc.ca. The letter should include:
- Why you are interested in attending
- Why you should be considered
- One question you would like to ask Mr. Hansen.
Staff will assess the letters as well as the cadets’ participation in order to select the cadets from each level.
Please submit the letters no later than 15 November 23. The cadets who are selected to attend the event will be advised on 22 November.
STEWARDSHIP OR OUR SHARED SPACES
It was regrettably brought to the staff’s attention that some cadets have vandalized our training location, AY Jackson SS, on Wednesday, 18 October. This was a repeated issue last training year, and it is extremely disappointing to hear that this behaviour has begun again.
Cadets are reminded that they have signed and agreed to a Cadet Code of Conduct, including ‘Set a positive example by your conduct and be kind and considerate of your actions and behaviour on others’; ‘be respectful of the environment and your surroundings’; and ‘…report any wrongdoing to an adult staff member as soon as possible.’. Breaches of this code of conduct will be tracked and handled in an escalating manner:
- Verbal warning
- Cautionary Notice
- Written Warning
- Administrative actions up to and including removal from the cadet program. Any of the above disciplinary actions may be accompanied by a suspension of privileges.
In addition to the code of conduct, we are also bound to the lease agreement on AY Jackson. Our Squadron Sponsor Committee works hard to secure training locations for us and to raise funds to pay for them. Aside from the extreme disrespect shown by disregarding this effort by vandalizing the property, it places the whole squadron at risk: if our lease is terminated, we do not have a training location. As it is, we struggle to find adequate space to accommodate such a large squadron, so we cannot afford to risk losing such a precious commodity by allowing this misconduct to stand. You have agreed to behave in a way that aligns with the values of the CJCR and abide by the laws of Canada. You will be held to that standard.
We all share stewardship of our shared spaces. Never pass a fault. Make good decisions, and practice bystander intervention when warranted.
PICKING UP CADETS FROM ACTIVITIES
A reminder that parents and guardians must pick cadets up from activities on time, or make alternate arrangements. Staff members may not leave until all cadets are picked up, and cannot drive cadets home. As winter approaches, lateness becomes more of a concern as we are not allowed to stay inside the rented facilities past the end of the rental time, so cadets and staff must wait outside.
COMMUNICATIONS
Most new cadets will see credentials for their CADET365 accounts arrive in the email address provided on their registration forms starting this week. It may go to junk mail, so keep an eye out.
A reminder that these credentials may not be shared: they belong to the cadets to whom they are assigned. Parents may ask questions on the Facebook group or by emailing the staff or sponsor committee. Further, staff members may only contact cadets via telephone or on CADET365 (email or Teams), and adults who are not staff members should only contact cadets via the Commanding Officer.
Flight Commanders are working hard to ensure that their flights are kept informed, and tracking which cadets have not yet been granted CADET365 access and who therefore need to be contacted personally each week.
DESIGNATED PRAYER SPACE
For cadets practicing the Muslim faith, who wish to do their evening prayers, we have a designated the use of classroom 213 during ‘long break’ each week. Cadets may use that space without needing to seek approval, but are reminded to ensure it is left in the state it is found.
On other cadets exercises and activities, they are always welcome to excuse themselves to pray, but may wish to indicate to an officer the need for a designated space.
During religious festivals where fasting is practices. all cadets are welcome to bring food to break their fast, rather then needing to stay home to do so.
