As you are all probably aware by now, a serious situation has been unfolding in Ottawa since this morning that impacts us all as Canadians. Our thoughts and prayers are with those directly affected by today's tragic events.

A decision has been made to cancel our regular parade night this evening and Marksmanship and Band tomorrow evening. The intent is to be back up and running for next Monday night’s drill team practice. More information to follow.
