2. TRAINING
As we announced during last week’s training, unfortunately, we cannot meet in person at Minto Armoury yet. Therefore, we are going to start a ‘hybrid model’ of training this year.
What does this mean? It means that we have secured a smaller space to use on Friday evenings for training, however, this means that we can only have a small number of cadets each night.
What we are planning on doing, is rotating the levels through an in-person training night and virtual training night.
What does that look like? Every week, one level will be assigned to have an in-person training night at the location provided, while the other levels will have a virtual training night. We will rotate through so that approximately once per month, each level will have an in-person training night.
This means that Cadets will need to make sure they are aware if they are having an in-person night or a virtual night. If your level is having an in-person night, we will not be running a virtual night for that class.
Keep an eye out for the schedule coming soon. DO NOT COME TO MINTO ARMOURY!
**COVID-19 TRAINING REQUIREMENT – MANDATORY – ALL CADETS**
Before we are allowed to meet in Minto in person, one of the requirements is that all Cadets must complete the COVID-19 Course (online) and provide their certificate. As announced during last week’s training night, we have received several emails regarding issues accessing the course. Therefore, ALL CADETS are required to attend this week’s training night and this course will be conducted via MS Teams.

4) SUPPLY
Supply is almost ready to start exchanging and issuing uniform parts!
A link will be sent out soon asking for your measures and current uniform sizes (if applicable)
In the meantime, please do the following to ensure that assisting in making the exchange or issuing of uniforms easier:
1. Gather all your uniform parts and keep them in the same place
2. Try it on so you know which pieces do not fit
3. Freshen them up by giving them all good wash and polish your boots/ blacken your welts
4. Separate pieces that do not fit. Write on a Piece of paper:
a. Your Last Name, First Name
b. Which parts do you need replaced and their sizes,
ex. Bloggins, Avery
Light blue shirt male 13 or female 10M
Boots 220/98
Tunic 6432
Pants 6732
Wedge 7 1/2
5. Place in a bag with the paper from above and insert it on top of the items in the bag or stapled on the outside. If boots do not fit they can be given separately
**Please do not return socks and dark blue cotton T-shirt** If you need these replaced just indicate your previous sizes on the paper and your new size required
Uniforms being returned need to be washed and boots polished.
Failure to do so will put your exchange at the back of the line and/or will be returned to you
