Dress: For cadets that haven’t yet received a uniform (or have uniform parts that don’t fit) then the dress for the poppy drive will be a white dress shirt, a black tie, black shoes (both sneakers and dress shoes are accepted), dress pants, a jacket and gloves

FTX: Aircrew Survival Day - 7 November 2021
An FTX is a mandatory field training day for cadets, where they learn various things such as making tents and starting fires. FTXs happen twice a year, with one in the fall and one in the spring. Usually, an FTX is an overnight excursion, but with Covid-19 restrictions still in place, we aren’t able to do so this year. Instead, we have a one-day excursion for levels 1 through 5.
Timing: Sunday, November 7th, 2021 from 8:30 - 18:00
Address: 462 Taunton Rd W, Ajax, ON L1T 4S9
Dress: Cadets with Field Training Uniforms may wear them. Otherwise, dress for the weather in civilian clothing and make sure your clothing is cadet-appropriate (i.e. no ripped jeans or offensive shirts).
What to bring: Notebook (note-taking materials), extra masks, a water bottle, any required medication (EpiPens and puffers included), your health card and proof of vaccination.
