March 13-15 Level 1 & 2 FTX CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER
83 Juno Beach,
With the poor weather and road conditions forecasted for this weekend, we have made the decision to CANCEL this weekend's Level 1 & 2 FTX Activity March 13-15. Your safety is our number one priority, and we believe we have made the right decision.
Thank you to the FTX seniors who have worked hard to help plan and coordinate this activity including F/Sgt Caraiman (IC), F/Sgt Caswell (2IC), F/Sgt Lybbert and F/Sgt Wheeler (Mess ICs), F/Sgt Nieuwkerk and F/Sgt Lomakin (Supply ICs), WO1 Kjar, F/Sgt Patel, F/Sgt Zadko, and F/Sgt Harasemchuk. It takes a village to make these events happen with hours of work dedicated and we appreciate all the hard work our senior cadets have invested.
Thank you for your understanding. Be safe, stay warm, and we'll see you on Tuesday.
