Stand by for the email invite this afternoon. We will be using the email address we have on file.

With so many similar fundraisers going on right now, we decided to bring you a little something different. As an alternative to chocolates, we have Poinsettia and festive planters from Growing Smiles. This will be a quick turnaround time with an order deadline of Friday, November 20th in order to have a delivery date of Saturday, December 5th. This will give us lots of time to enjoy the greenery prior to the holidays. https://airdriehighlanders.growingsmilesfundraising.com.../home To make this a Covid safe fundraiser, Payments will be etransfer only. Pick up will be curbside at the school on Saturday, December 5th Thank you Capt. Wood for such a great suggestion.

***Attention*** Date Change The date for the meeting has been changed to Monday, November 16th at 19:00. It will be held at the Airdrie Agriculture Building, 97 East Lake Ramp, NE. We must follow the guidelines of 15 people within the room so we are asking that only 1 adult per family be in attendance. All attendees must wear a facemask or face shield, and sign a copy of the Covid-19 Alberta Health Daily Checklist.

Cadets CANCELLED TONIGHT All, With the deteriorating weather conditions I have decided to cancel cadets tonight. The safety of the cadets is my first priority.... 1. I understand that you all wanted to receive your 2019/2020 Annual Ceremonial Review (ACR) awards tonight, but you will receive them all on the 24 Nov. 2. The following parade night, 17 Nov, was also a scheduled night off. 3. Tonight we were to remember the fallen soldiers that made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I encourage you all to watch the virtual Remembrance Day service that #288 Legion will be putting on tomorrow. Airdrie Legion Video Ceremony (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdTlXpGIWnQ) 4. We have scheduled a fun Run and Shoot biathlon day for the 22 Nov. Because we won’t be attending cadets tonight, I need any cadet that is wanting to attend to email Capt Daum saying you are available no later then 13 November 2020. [email protected] 5. The unit has approved the use of the app TeamSnap. This will help with the communications within the unit and give the cadets and parents the most up to date information in a timely fashion. This will also allow for cadets to instantly submit their availability. Stay tuned and watch for the email invitation! See you all on the next parade night of 24 Nov 2020! B. Wood Capt CO [email protected]
