SUMMARY OF FIRST WEEK BACK

WELCOME BACK

We would like to say thank you and welcome back to all the cadets who joined us on our first Virtual CO’s Parade! We were excited to see so many faces and reconnect with everyone. This past week we also hosted a Virtual Parent/Guardian Information Night, thank you to all who joined as we try to share critical information of how cadets is moving forward in a COVID-19 environment.

As shared with parents/guardians and cadets we will be posting on this page as we get new information and share big updates as well through scheduled teleconferences. Please check our website on a weekly basis for these updates.  On our main page under “Important Notices” we have provided quick and easily links to access critical information.

NEXT STEPS

As we move forward with virtual training and possibly limited in person training once we are set up to do so in a safe manner, we left cadets with some tasks to complete over September and October.

  • Complete your COVID-19 Awareness Course and submit certificate.

    • Instructions on how to access the course and where to submit are on the main page under Important Notices.

  • Join us on virtual learning, we will be hosting engagement activities for the rest of September and begin star level course in October. Links for the training can be found under

    • Main page >Training Schedule > Virtual Training

  • For parents/guardians who missed the information session a copy of the presentation can be found under Important Notices on the main page.

We thank everyone for the support as we work through big changes as we adapt to a COVID-19 environment and on-going changes being implemented to have a safe, fun, and engaging program.

If you have any questions, please reach out at  2784army@cadets.gc.ca . The email is monitored daily and we will do our best to answer as quickly as possible.

COVID-19 UPDATE - TRAINING 2020-2021

To Cadets, Parents and Guardians,

The safety and security of all who participate in the Cadet Program is always one of our top priorities. It is assumed that the COVID-19 pandemic could last 18 months or longer. This virus will likely return in multiple waves and continue to pose a threat to the Canadian Public. A return to normalcy is not forecasted any time soon, and we need to prepare for a new normal.

Therefore, that is why, the Commander of the National Cadet and Junior Canadian Rangers Support Group has made the decision to delay the start-up of limited in-person cadet activities until at least 1 October, 2020. This was not an easy decision, nor was it made in isolation. It ensures that we have proper measures in place for the safety and security of everyone who participates in our programs and will ensure that the Cadet and JCR programs do not become a vector to spread the COVID-19 virus.

In the month of September, you can expect that we will reach out to you with information about the fall. We are expecting virtual activities to resume in September until such time that limited in-person training can be authorized. For your information, please save the date to come and join us virtually to clarify what the training may look like this year and to answer all of your questions. Save the date! To join our Parent Information Session on 15 September 2020 from 7 pm to 8 pm. A link to the teleconference can be found on our private Facebook Page.

Although the fall of 2020 will not roll out the same way it has in years before, we remain committed to ensuring that the Cadet Program continues to provide unique experiences for youth within our community. Should you have any questions or concerns, you are encouraged to reach out to me.

Yours truly,

Capt Amélie Asboth

Commanding Officer
