current week
5 - 11 May 2025
Battle of the Atlantic
Thank you to all the cadets who attended Sunday’s ceremony at the National Naval Reserve Monument at HMCS Carleton. Navy League, Sea and Air cadets performed a remembrance service to the sailors and air crew who fought during the longest naval engagement of World War II.
Sunday 11 May 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 denomination.
NO Drum training on Sunday 11 May
Cadet dress for the day: Navy League uniform or white shirt/dark pants and shoes (for those without a uniform)
Officer dress for the day: Summer Dress
Wednesday 07 May - The commanding officer of RCSCC Falkland has invited Kingsmill cadets who will be ageing out of our program to visit the sea cadet corps from 2015 (8:15 PM) – 2115 (9:15 PM). Admittance will be by the front door. Kingsmill cadets must be in uniform and accompanied by a parent/guardian. This is a great opportunity for NL cadets to observe a portion of the training night of a sea cadet corps. Interested cadets please sign up at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YQyUiBcWgQ2wZEpzt7Apu-uGPX50MhUMJvUknbTWHSM/edit
Uniforms
All cadet issued parkas are to be returned on Sunday to the Supply Officer. Please empty pockets and follow label instructions for washing and drying the parka.
For weekly training purposes, cadets will enter HMCS Carleton from the entrance to the gate in the back parking lot. 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 cadets should stay home if they or anyone in their household is sick.
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.
Upcoming Events
