We will have someone from the Legion with us on Wednesday, June 4 to collect money for the banquet. We are sorry we cannot accept e-transfers. We are asking that you provide a cheque or CASH to us in a sealed envelope with your cadet(s) name on it. Mr. Wheadon will collect and we can provide invoices later from Mr. Westcott.
if you choose a cheque, it can be made out to 2562 Sponsoring Committee.
Again, if there any issues with covering the cost, please reach out to Capt. Wold and we can make a plan to help (stephanie.wold@cadets.gc.ca)

enough medication with them for the duration of the activity. Parents/Guardians must complete the Medication Administration Form and provide it, along with the medication (in its original packaging which will include the cadet’s full name, medication name, and dosage information) to arrival to the Officer in Charge of the activity, or the officer whom they delegate to manage medications. That officer will ensure the medication is made available to the cadet at the administration time(s) indicated on the form.
