TRAINING THIS WEEK
April 8, 2026
April 8th - Photo Day + CO's Parade
We will be holding squadron photos followed by CO’s Parade. Cadets are to wear C1A dress for both the parade and the photos. Cadets should arrive with uniforms complete and worn to the proper dress standard, including polished boots and all required badges correctly placed on the tunics. This is an excellent opportunity for cadets to demonstrate pride in their appearance and represent the squadron with professionalism during both the parade and the group photos.
Arrival time for cadets is 1830hrs at Béatrice-Desloges Catholic High School. Parents and friends are invited to watch the parade, beginning at 20h00.
​
If you can't attend a training night for any reason, please fill out the notice of absence form.
SUPPLY ANNOUNCEMENTS
-
Time to wear the Air Cadet Blue Uniform (the Blues) and show off your badges! Try to have your 632 Phoenix shoulder badges & rank badges sewn onto your blue tunic in time (do not glue, staple, or iron them for a last minute fix). If you haven’t sewn on your badges yet, still show up wearing your Blues as we will have Squadron photos. Most important is that you have all the sewing done for the Annual Ceremonial Review (end-of-year parade) on Saturday June 06. Ensure to follow the Dress Instructions for the correct badge placement (see image).
​
-
Make sure to wear your rank slip-ons on your light blue dress shirt under your tunic (see Supply for exchange if needed), make sure to wear your wedge and not your beret, and make sure to proudly wear your blue nametag (on your right side of the tunic, centered right above the chest pocket, bottom of the nametag lined up just above the pocket seam - no gap)
​

Cadets in parade positions (Flag Party, Drum Major, Flight Commanders, SWO, CWO), please contact Capt Arnold if you are missing any white ceremonial accoutrements (lanyard/gloves or gauntlets for DM/belt with CAF brass buckle)​

Supply is always accepting uniform exchange requests. If you're not sure what size you need, tell us what item you need, take a photo of the white tag for the item you're returning and whether you'd like taller/shorter and larger/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: Thomas.Meed@cadets.gc.ca
