Sunday 24March is regular training from 1300-1600 with the dress being full uniform or white shirt/ dark pants and shoes (for those without a uniform).
Cadets please arrive between 1250-1300. Due to base restrictions and staffing requirements, cadets must arrive on time. Cadets arriving more than 5 minutes late will not be admitted.
Parents are asked to arrive for pick-up at 1545 for Liberty Boat announcements before cadets are released at 1600.
Cadets may bring a LABELLED water bottle, food or snacks. A canteen will also be available at the 1430 stand easy. As items are priced at $1 or less it is requested that cadets bring no more than $5 as change cannot be made for larger denominations.
Drum trainingwith MCpl Picard will continue on Sunday 24 March from 1200-1300 for selected cadets (please note the new time!).
For weekly training purposes, cadets will enter HMCS Carleton from the entrance to the gate in the back parking lot. An officer will be at the entrance performing temperature and health checks. A parent must remain with the cadet until he/she is cleared for admittance to the base by a Kingsmill officer. Similarly, at a cadet activity off the base, a parent must check in with a Kingsmill officer for both drop off and pick up.
In order to reduce the risk of catching or spreading illness, in particular Covid, cadets should stay home iftheyor any family member feels sick. Please note that at this time, we are not authorized to let parents or guardians into the building.
A reminder to parents/guardians– if for any reason your cadet is unable to attend Sunday base training, please submit the “leave request” form found on the home page of the Kingsmill website so he/she will be recorded as excused for the day for attendance purposes. Your cadet is still responsible for completing the week’s lesson and quiz in Google Classroom.
