#bellletstalk Tonight we used our Virtual Meeting to relax a bit and focus on our Mental Health. The Cadets and Staff took some time on the Whiteboard to write, post and share great Quotes they have, trying to spread some positivity. Thanks a lot for everyone that joined and took part!... @cadetsca Northwest Cadets

Got spring break plans yet? No? Well you are in luck! Introducing CAP at Home! CAP at Home will deliver five days of engaging activities, dynamic presentat...ions, and fun challenges beyond what is done at the local corps/squadron, virtually of course! What's even better is that any cadet in the region can participate in CAP at Home from the comfort of their own home regardless of their geographical location. Two sessions of CAP at Home will happen March 29 to April 2 and from April 5 to April 9, happening over spring breaks. Stay tuned to learn more or ask your chain of command! In-person CAP activities may still happen in select communities as permitted by local public health measures, in addition to CAP at Home.

Any day is a good day to talk about mental health. But on this Bell Let’s Talk Day, We think it’s even more important to raise the topic and have a conversation on the importance of mental health. #BellLetsTalk Bell Canada

Hello, Everyone should have received an e-mail from Lt(N) MacGregor with information for our next virtual meeting tomorrow night, Thursday 28 Jan 2021, be sure to check your inboxes and spam folders if you have not seen it.

We invite all Cadets to join us in their comfy clothes and log in with their supper/snacks for a bit... of a family dinner chat to check in on everyone. Focus on some positives and relax mentally. The staff will have a bit to restate about Summer Training and the deadlines and if we're lucky we may have a bit more Information to pass along. Please join in and if you're able to before or after our virtual meeting, be sure to send some texts or even make some calls and check up on your friends and family!

Feel free to bring your own as well. 5) All of us are looking forward to create a fun and exciting program for both old and new Cadets in the safest way possible.

Hello, Everyone should have received an e-mail that with our in-person stand down, we are missing our 'Participate in Citizenship Activities'. Our goal for Citizenship right now was to create some Christmas letters/cards that we could distribute to those that may not be getting as much of a Christmas due to restrictions. ... So if you are able and have some supplies at home to work on some Letters or Cards to hand in when we return in person, I will take them around where I feel they can brighten another persons day. Feel free to talk a bit about yourself, what it's like to be a Cadet if you want to. Make a few copies so we can reach even more people. We will be looking at a virtual meeting for next week. Check your emails. Thanks, Lt(N) Petch

Keep an eye on your e-mails(even the spam folder) for further information on our Virtual plans and any new updates as they come. Thanks, Lt(N) Matthew Petch Commanding Officer

"I am incredibly proud of the small, yet meaningful gestures and actions cadets and JCRs take to show their respect for veterans and their sacrifices. You are c...learly demonstrating that the next generation of canadian leaders will not forget those who gave their lives to defend the values that define canada." Commodore Kurtz, Commander CJCR

Today we would like to take a moment to Remember those that have served and are still serving. Who do you Remember on this day? What does Remembrance Day mean to you? Share your stories in the comments! For myself my father served in the Canadian Artillery and his parents served in the Air Force. Along with my family I also keep our past cadets in my mind that have chosen a career in the Military and wish them safety and security during their duties and thank them for their ...service. Lt(N) Petch Commanding Officer
