Please see link In Teams to access the schedule for Poppy Campaign for Weekend #1. Please pick up your Poppy Box at the location indicated next to your name. “Ship” is 75 Cardigan Street and “Stone” is in the Stone Rd Mall parking lot near indigo Books. We tried our best to have your pickup match your selection however in some cases it simply wasn’t possible if the locations were somewhere else. If you note any discrepancies or circumstances have changed since submission, please contact us at co@rcsccajax.ca. If you are unable to access Teams for this information, please contact us co@rcsccajax.ca and the information can be provided.
Weekend #2 is not fully finalized and is still subject to change. You will be notified to check again next Thursday for those dates. Please note that anyone who signed up for Fergus/Elora for next weekend, these locations are no longer available and we are asking you to switch your availability to Guelph. We will assume this is possible and will schedule you accordingly, however if not, please send an email to co@rcsccajax.ca.
For Fergus and Elora, please also see Teams for the the link. There are 2 tabs on the spreadsheet for each location.
Any questions may be sent to co@rcsccajax.ca
Hello Cadets and Parents,
Thank you to everyone who participated in Weekend #1 of Poppy Campaign. The weather was pretty decent and overall thus far the campaign is very successful. Weekend #2 starts on Friday 3 NOV. Please remember the following points.
1. If you can’t make your shift, please contact by email to co@rcsccajax.ca to advise. Remember, if you aren’t there, it may leave another cadet on their own and we need to know this so we can adjust accordingly.
2. The Stone Rd Mall pick up/ drop off location has been eliminated for next weekend. All pick ups and drop offs will be at the “Ship” at 75 Cardigan Street.
3. Smile and have fun while interacting with the public.
4. Dress for the weather. Some locations will allow you inside the first set of doors but most sites are outside.
5. If you need to change a shift, most likely at this point you will be dropped from the schedule as most locations are full for all shifts. Send an email as above to advise and you will get a response.
6. Please re-check the schedule at the link posted on Teams after Wednesday to confirm where you are supposed to be and when. There have been some changes from the initial planning.
7. The sign-up form will be closed on Wednesday at 1700hrs. No additional sign ups will be accepted after this time.
