SUPPLY

If you signed up to attend Parade of Lights on November 29, contact our Supply Officer, Captain Arnold to obtain the Air Cadet blue uniform and Winter gear (parka/toque/gloves).
Be ready to wear your blue uniform on December 3 for CO’s parade. Test your blue dress shirt in advance: if the top button won’t close or if the collar is too tight, contact our Supply Assistant Officer, Officer Cadet Meed. Let him know your current size (ie 13.5, 8M, etc). Remember to wash & return the uniform part to be exchanged as it will likely be lent to another cadet.
Supply is accepting uniform exchange requests. If you're not sure what size you need, tell us what item you need, take photo of the tag for the item you're returning and whether you'd like taller/shorter and larger or smaller at the waist/chest etc. We'll do our best to find the correct sizes and bring them as soon as we are able to. Email Supply to ask for a uniform exchange.

COMING UP IN NOVEMBER

Please note that if you know the email address of the staff member you'd like to reach, contact them directly. Otherwise, please direct your inquiries to our general inbox 632aviation@cadets.gc.ca. We will no longer be leaving hyperlinked addresses in the newsletter due to recent directives.
