Weekly Routine Orders 24 Nov 20
Cadets should receive an e-mail from their Flight Commanders, with the link to our online parades. If you haven't received that link, please follow your Chain of Command to obtain it. If you are unsure of who your Flight Commander is, please email 140admo@gmail.com.
Effective Speaking
The Effective Speaking program is one of the most important programs in the cadet movement. Learn to formulate speeches and deliver them effectively. Learn to think on your feet and develop great speeches in next to no time. Develop confidence in speaking in public.
778 Banshee Squadron has generously invited our Squadron to their Effective Speaking training program. Sign up if you are interested. The program will begin on 2 Dec 20 and will be conducted through Microsoft Teams.
Drill Team
Does the bang of a perfectly stepped boot thrill you? Do you love order and precision?
Then the Drill Team is for you! Learn how to optimize your drill skills. 778 Banshee Squadron has invited 140 Aurora Squadron to join their training sessions. Practice will be virtual on Friday evenings.
Sign up so we know who is interested!

Have you registered on the Cadet Portal yet? There is lots of great information and learning activities there! Make it a point to join in!
COVID-19 News
Parents, cadets and staff, please review the latest correspondence from Regional Cadet Support Unit. This is important information.
As part of our return to training, cadets should all review the National Defence Aide-Memoire for Cadets and Junior Rangers. Please let your Flight Commander know when you have read it, and if you have questions, please relay them through the Chain of Command.
It's up to all of us to know what it takes to stay safe.
Ground School
If you joined Air Cadets to become a pilot, and you are at least 14 years old, now is the time to start studying by taking ground school.
The 140 Squadron ground school classes will prepare you to compete for the Glider Pilot Training Course (GPTC) for summer 2021 or summer 2022. It is very competitive but if you are successful, you will return from summer training with wings on your uniform and a licence to fly an airplane.
Ground school is being taught by CI Laurie Macdonald, starting October 15 and every Thursday evening (virtually), and run from mid-October to mid-January. You will need to get the textbook (From the Ground Up) or locate online resources.
Sign up or ask questions by emailing CI Macdonald at vqao08@gmail.com.
Field Training Uniforms
Thanks to all who sent in their measurements for the new Field Training Uniforms. We will arrange to have them issued when we have access to an appropriate facility.
Supply
We have moved out of 4 Vata Court. Until we have an operating Supply, there will be no Supply nights. The Supply Officer will let you know when Supply starts up again.
Dress Instructions
Dress Instructions have changed. Please check the new Dress Instructions under either the Supply or Training tab. Please become familiar with the Numbered Orders of Dress.
Google Drive
Cadets cannot access our Google drive if they have recently used their school e-mail. It is not a problem on our end -- the school board won't allow it.
Access is open to anyone with the link.
Do NOT request access on the form. Before accessing our Google drive, cadets must clear their device's cache or use a private browser.
