Yes, this is very early and a little late for a Wednesday night, however, we promise it will be worth it! We have been given a unique opportunity to visit the racing yacht HMCS Oriole and the Hamilton Police Services Marine Unit.

HMCS Oriole is the oldest and longest serving ship in the Canadian Navy. Launched in 1921 and commissioned in 1954, Oriole remains true to its original design as an ocean racing yacht. Oriole excels in its mission providing leadership training for sailors and visiting ports of call as goodwill ambassador for the Navy.

The Hamilton Police Service Marine Unit operates out of Hamilton Harbour year-round, conducting both law enforcement and rescue operations. During the boating season from April through November, the Unit actively patrols western Lake Ontario and Hamilton Harbour on a daily basis.  Throughout the non-boating months of December to March, the Unit responds to marine calls on an emergency basis, as well as ice rescue situations.

*Please be here for 1700 as the bus needs to leave on time.

**If the weather is cooler you may need to bring your parkas or jacket.

***You must have your Health Card with you in order to get on the bus.

Welcome back RCSCC AJAX!

On Wednesday, September 6, 2023 we will be returning to our regular training nights. Dress will be appropriate civilian attire for junior cadets and C5 for Staff Cadets (PO1+).  This will be a little bit more of a casual night as we take care of administration and supply tasks, and welcome the new cadets joining us for the first time. Returning cadets please try on your uniforms now, before the first night, and bring in any uniform parts you need to exchange. We need to hit the ground running on Sep 13 as we have a special night planned in Hamilton, dress will be C5.

Attached to this announcement will be the new yearly calendar. This is a list of mandatory activities planned from September 2023 to June 2024. Note the Wednesday nights we will not be at the Ship and the weekend activities. All cadets need to complete enough of the mandatory sessions in order to move through the program and be promoted at year end. This calendar will be modified slightly as we go through the year, but all of the major dates should be there.

It's been a great summer break and we hope you've had time to recharge and refresh. Next week it's back to cadets though and we can't wait to see all of you!

Cadets attending CAP1 or CAP2!

Please check your C365 Outlook for an email with Joining Instructions and important information!

A response to acknowledge receipt of the email and the information is required.

Thank you!

To all cadets: this week, June 7, will be our last night for the training year. You are still expected to attend as we have a few things to wrap up. Dress will be civilian attire (no sandals, no ripped clothes, shoulders covered). We will likely have a physical fitness part to the night.

Chief's and PO's: We would like you to come to a meeting on June 14 about next year. This includes the PO2's. We would like your input about the training schedule and activities we choose to do. We'll meet from 1830-2000. Pick up is at 2000. Dress civilian attire.
