From the CO's Desk...

Good Evening All,
Just a reminder on uniform standards for any civilian clothes night- if you can not wear the item to school please do not wear it to cadets. Cadets will be sent home or asked to sit out from the activity if there clothes are not appropriate. (example: wearing short shorts, muscle shirts and/or flip flops for sports night is not acceptable attire which means the cadet will not be allowed to participate. If cadets cannot participate in the fitness test, it will exclude them from being promoted and advancing to the next star level.)
Please refer to the Uniform section on the website for what the dress looks like. Click here for more info.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Capt Petrini

Good Evening 1626 Family,
I hope that everyone had a safe and fun summer break- one filled with memories that will last forever.
I am excited for the upcoming 2019/2020 training year. My staff and I have packed the next 9 months full of fun and dynamic activities that will teach you skills, challenge your limits and give back to your community. We will facilitate this through multiple FTXs, fundraisers, complementary training and interesting classes. Thank you to those of you that are returning and a huge welcome to those that will be joining us.
This year we are going to continue the successes of last year and enhance those areas that we thought we needed to enhance. One area of concern was communication. Hence why we now have a corps' phone number: (289)-438-4114 Press 1 for General Inquires, Press 2 for Supply, Press 3 for Administration and Press 4 for Support Committee (Training will be getting one shortly). We are also making enhancements to our website- more information will be sent out sooner. We will continue to use Facebook for general questions, the website will continue to be used for short leave forms, uniforms and information on activities. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
This year we also have created a recruit platoon cell within the training department- this will be run by Sgt Nolan Nixon. New cadets will be shown the ropes in an in depth 4 week intro program and once complete will be mugged into the unit on CO's parade. The dress for all new recruits on Wednesdays (except for sports nights) is white shirt and black pants (no jeans).
For those members who are no longer with the corps, we would like to wish you the best in your endeavours and know that you are always welcome to visit the corps as you are part of West Niagara's Finest. If you have not returned your uniform, please make an effort to do so with CV DiSimine- contact our new phone number at the supply extension.
I am looking forward to what this year brings and what new adventures we will embark on together.
Welcome Back!
