We're Back!
Introducing our new Commanding Officer! Captain Lynda Holowatyj has had a long career in the military as a CIC officer. She was one of the first female air cadets at 94 Optimist Squadron in Newmarket, and went on to become an officer at that unit. She has worked with several other units in various capacities, including 166 Bulldog, 351 Silver Star, 883 Leonard Birchall, 778 Banshee and 707 Squadron in Etobicoke. She's been Commanding officer at 94 (twice), 166, and 707. Captain Holowatyj was recognized by the Air Cadet League in 2009 with an Award of Excellence. She also received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012. We're happy to have her expertise for 140 Aurora Squadron.
Captain D'Aguiar has started her new command with 724 Midland Lions Air Cadets. We thank her for her service to 140 Aurora Squadron and wish her well in her new command.
COVID-19 Training
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.
Training
We are planning a fun and educational year for you. Though we're in the midst of a global pandemic, you can still enjoy being cadets and learning, building relationships and developing leadership skills. Our first parade night will be 6 October 2020, and it will be virtual. We will be communicating how to access this through messaging, to ensure privacy.
We've produced a survey to get your input on how you would like training to be done this year. Give your opinion here.
We're excited about what this year will bring. We encourage our Seniors to think about what kinds of innovative activities we can do in this new environment.
Validation Forms
Validation Forms have been sent out to parents. Please check the information on the sheet and provide corrections/additions to CI Waller at 140admo@gmail.com, by 18 Sep 20. If you did not receive a message, please check your Junk folder or contact CI Waller.
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. CI Tipton will let you know when Supply starts up again.

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.
