current week
29 november - 5 december 2021

Google Classroom training:

Sunday 5 December will be a virtual parade in Google Classroom from 1300 (1:00 pm) - 1400 (2:00 pm).

Our guest speaker this month is Jamie Clute, National Executive Director of the Navy League of Canada. 

Cadets are to be in full uniform. Those without a uniform should wear a white shirt and dark pants. 
The link and instructions on how to join are provided on the "Parade" classroom in Google Classroom. 
Winter dress for Officers.
Cadets should login to the parade classroom any time after 1250 but before 1300. 

Online Expectations:
Always behave in a respectful manner.
Pay attention to the speaker.
Do not engage in other distractions e.g. text/chat with each other.
Have your microphones muted, unless you are speaking.

A reminder:  The Divisional Classrooms will be used to post the weekly challenge questions for the Inter-Divisional Competition. Cadets are highly encouraged to participate in each weekly challenge question. Each week the Division having the most correct answers will be awarded a point. The Division accumulating the most points for all of the weekly challenge questions will win the weekly challenge portion of the Inter-Divisional Competition. The Division having the most points in the Inter-Divisional Competition will be awarded the Cock of the Walk (best Division).


Holiday Greetings Video:

As the holiday season approaches Kingsmill cadets are being asked to record a short video sending holiday greetings to Canadian Armed Forces personnel abroad. Serving over the holidays can be tough for our military personnel, especially during these times with Covid. For a lot of these people it's their first tours away. It's nice for those serving abroad to know that people are thinking of them.

The video can simply wish them Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings or other holiday greetings. The video should also thank them for their service.

Cadets are to be in uniform (for those without a uniform - white shirt, black pants) and the video should be less than 30 seconds.

All the cadet videos will be complied into one video and a link to the latter video will be directly disseminated to two Canadian Armed Forces missions. The video is to be uploaded in the "Parade" classroom of our Google Classroom to a holiday videos folder will be created soon.

The deadline for submitting a video is Saturday 4 December. It is hoped that all cadets take the time to record a video. It takes a little legwork but it means so much.


Online Registration for New Cadets:

Registration for new cadets is now closed for the Fall session but will resume in December for new cadets for the Winter session.

Consider Donating:

Tag Days (pre-COVID) were part of-person fundraising activities for the Navy League of Canada Ottawa Branch (NLOB). As a result of COVID Tag Days have been put on hold for the foreseeable future. The NLOB supports NLCC Vice Admiral Kingsmill's training program in a wide range of ways including, but not limited to, uniforms, recreational and educational trips, equipment for training, and the purchase of awards to recognize Kingsmill cadets' achievements. The Navy League of Canada Ontario Division has partnered with "Micharity" to organize a structured process to collect and distribute donations to the Branch of your choice and send charitable receipts immediately. Please consider making an online donation to our sponsoring Branch (NLOB) in support of cadet activities in our community. To donate to the NLOB, the NLOB has set up a link on their home page at www.ottawanavyleague.org, or the link can be directly accessed by clicking HERE.  Donations using this link will be forwarded from the Ontario Division to the Ottawa Branch.  However, please include a dedication on the form to the "Ottawa Branch" with the subject "Donation" to nlob.treasurer@gmail.com. This will help the NLOB monitor it locally. Your generous donations will have a huge impact on helping us deliver a youth program that is second to none and help young Canadians develop into our leaders of tomorrow. Thank you!
