First Post (11 Nov 12)

Welcome to the blog of 23 Optimist Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets. This will serve as the official communication and bulletin board for the squadron for both parents and cadets.

Remembrance Day
Firstly, a very large thank-you to all of the cadet who participated in Remembrance Day activities. This is a busy time of year for us and we appreciate all the cadets who gave of their time selling poppies, attending the Legion dinner and participating our two parades. Many people have approached the staff with compliments and praise for our cadets. There is also a link to photos (including cadets) that were published on the website for the St. Catharines Standard.
