Annual Ceremonial Review

This years annual is being held at the Pembroke Memorial Centre on Saturday June 4th! This parade is mandatory for all cadets as it the the summation of their training for the year.
Guests are encouraged so invite family and friends. The parade begins at 1pm so guests are asked to arrive for 12:30. The cadets have been practicing hard for this event so I am confident that we will impress.

Cadets are to arrive at 8am in civilian attire for a parade practice. Lunch will be provided before getting into uniform for the parade.

End of Year Banquet

Every year we celebrate the successes of the year through a parent / cadet banquet. This years banquet is being held on Wednesday June 15th. Individuals are asked to arrive at 6:30pm for 7:00pm. The dress for this event is C1 for cadets (full uniform including tunic) and No 2, 2A or 2B for military members in attendance. Business dress is suggested for civilian guests.

There is no cost for cadets in uniform. Adult tickets are $15 and tickets for youth under the age of 12 cost $10. All are encouraged to come out and enjoy a a great meal preapred by the Pembroke Legion Ladies Auxillary. Tickets can be purchased from Civilian Instructor Wendy McGinley.

Freedom of the County Parade

According a unit the "Freedom of the County" is one of the highest honours that can be bestowed upon it. Granted only by civic authorities, it is conferred in recognition of honourable service and to mark the esteem and affection in which the community holds the unit. 638 Algonquin Squadron is proud to be receiving the freedom of the county along with other military units in a parade on June 10th at EXPO 150

This parade is taking place on a Friday during school hours so attendance is optional and at the discretion of the parents / guardians. Cadets are to be dropped off at the Pembroke Armoury for 0945 on Friday June 10th. From there they will be bussed to the parade involving other local cadet units, military units and legion members. The parade is to begin at 1100 and spectators are encouraged. After the parade lunch will be provided for the cadets. The cadets may be signed out by their parents after the parade or may return on the bus back to the armoury. The cadets are to be picked up for 1430 (2:30pm).

Please address any questions to the squadron office or 638Air@cadets.gc.ca
