CANCDTGEN 014/20
MISE À JOUR OCC – ANNULATIONS ET REPORTS POUR 2020 Réf. : A. OAIC 14-06 – Voyages à des fins d'instruction ou à des fins récréatives et éducatives B. CANFORGEN 039/20 C. 3350-Op LASER 20-01 D. CANCDTGEN 008/20 E. CANCDTGEN 010/20 F. CANCDTGEN 011/20 G. CANCDTGEN 012/20

1.         En plus des instructions fournies dans les réf D à G, la décision D’ANNULER TOUTES LES ACTIVITÉS DES CADETS, y compris l'entraînement local, jusqu’au 30 avril 2020, a été prise. D’ici le jeudi 30 avril 2020, davantage d’informations seront fournies sur la suite des choses, incluant une prolongation potentielle de l’annulation actuelle des activités.

2.         De plus, tous les échanges internationaux des cadets au Canada et a l’étranger et les occasions de formation, ce qui comprend, mais sans s'y limiter: l’école des élèves officiers de la Patrouille aérienne civile (Alabama, États-Unis), l'équipe nationale de tir des cadets de l’Armée (Bisley, Royaume-Uni), l'échange Feuille d’érable des cadets de l’armée au Royaume-Uni, l’excursion historique des cadets de l'Armée, les échanges internationaux de cadets de la Marine et de l’Air et tout entraînement international ou voyage récréatif et éducatif (sous la référence A) jusqu'à la fin de la période estivale 2020 ont été annulés.

3.         Par ailleurs, les activités dans la majorité des institutions d’entraînement et d’éducation des FAC ont été arrêtées. Cette décision a été basée sur l’évaluation de la situation actuelle et sur des avis médicaux. Conséquemment, le Gp S Nat CRJC reporte les cours d’instruction CIC jusqu’au 1er juillet 2020, à l’exception des cours offerts à distance (RAD), et des cours nécessaires aux CEC, qui sont prévus pour les mois de mai et juin 2020, comme les cours de spécialité d’aventure, les cours d'instructeur de pilote de planeur, les cours de conversion de pilote remorqueur, et les cours d’officier de sécurité de champ de tir (gros calibre).

4.         Le Gp S Nat CRJC collabore avec le ministère de la Défense nationale et les FAC ainsi qu’avec d’autres ministères fédéraux pour maintenir une bonne connaissance de la situation concernant la COVID-19 au Canada et dans le monde afin de synchroniser la réponse interministérielle sous la direction de Santé Canada et de l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada. Par conséquent, la situation est suivie en permanence et les décisions sont prises au cas par cas.

5.         Toute l’information disponible et à jour au sujet de la réponse du Gp S Nat CRJC quant à la COVID-19 peut être trouvée sur le REOCC à l’adresse suivante: http://collaboration.cco.nat/sites/NAT/SitePages/covid19.aspx RED : https://collab.cadets.gc.ca/sites/NAT/SitePages/covid19.aspx

TAKE A VIRTUAL RIDE AT HOME ON THE COASTERS AND ATTRACTIONS OF CANADA'S WONDERLAND

24/3/2020

 
If you’re looking for something exciting to do, we thought we’d offer up the rides at Canada’s Wonderland and bring the amusement park to you! 
​
You can take a virtual ride on 16 coasters, 11 thrill rides and seven family rides with first-person ‘point-of-view’ (POV) videos on Youtube. Experience some of the grown-up rides virtually, even if your are not, technically tall enough to ride in person. Or maybe you can convince your non-ride-loving family/friend member to give it a try!
