1) ANNUAL VALIDATION FORMS - RETURNING CADETS ONLY
It is important that these forms be returned so we can verify that your contact information is correct. Once in-person activities start if this form is not returned the cadet will not be able to participate in the activity, this would include Friday night parades, drill team, band, marksmanship, ground school, gliding, etc.
If you can’t print off the form, at this time we will accept an email stating “no change” or “make the following changes” and state them. In the email please state on the subject line - Annual Verification and the cadet’s name.

2) HYBRID 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.
We are starting our hybrid training this Friday (Oct 22). Below is the upcoming schedule for the next 3 weeks. Senior Cadets should be aware of their classes that they are going to teach.
If your class is doing an in-person class, the location is: 870 Portage Ave (Commissionaires Bldg)
DO NOT COME TO MINTO ARMOURY!
ONLY Cadets will be allowed to occupy the training area. Parents may come into drop-off your Cadet and pick up paperwork, however, you will not be allowed to stay, as we have to abide by the Commissionaires occupancy limit based on our current Public Health Orders.
ONLY the Cadets that have Level Training scheduled for in-person should be coming to the Commissionaires Bldg. Other other levels will have a virtual class.
In-person Checklist:
- Mask
- Writing equipment/paper/notebook
- Water bottle/drink & snacks (no canteen)
ALL CLASSES BEGIN AT 7:00PM SHARP.

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 to be 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
Check your email regularly for more updates!
