Good evening everyone! This email is regarding the purchasing of squadron jackets. The three-week break has put all of us in a bit of a jam, but I've decided to go ahead and order the jackets so that hopefully we will be able to get them by May at the latest. If you prefer paying in cash, I will be collecting money the week we return to our normal Wednesday night schedule which is hopefully the 8th of April. Just a reminder on some of the details: Cost: $55 Colour: Carbon Black Design: Embroidered crest on the front left chest. *Last name on left sleeve (changed because of the waterproof material of the jacket) More details on the jacket can be found below including a sizing chart: StormTech Nautilus Performance Jacket If you have any questions or concerns, you have changed your mind on your size or purchasing a jacket entirely, please let me know by Friday or I will just proceed with the order you have given me. Thank you and stay safe! WO2 Joseph Refs: A. CATO 14-06 Training or Recreational Trips

The safety and welfare of all who participate in our programs is always our top priority, as such we take very seriously our responsibility to protect cadets from any real or apparent health or safety concern. 4. The Natl CJCR Sp Gp is collaborating with Department of National Defence and CAF as well as with other federal departments in order to maintain proper situational awareness on the COVID-19 situation in Canada and globally to synchronize interdepartmental response under the lead of Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. As a result, the situation is continuously being monitored and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. 5.
