Good evening everyone, it's Capt Taylor. It's Thursday and we all would normally be at Cadets. I want to first of all say that we miss all of your smiling faces and we can't wait to see you back at the squadron as soon as possible and I hope you, your family and friends are happy and healthy. The Staff, SSC and Senior cadets are working behind the scenes on planning for the remainder of the year and on ways to engage you while we are away. I have asked Your Flight Commanders to reach out and check on each and every one of you but please don't hesitate for you or your parents to reach out to me if you have any specific questions or concerns. More information will be coming out shortly but you reach me at 583Air@cadets.gc.ca.

Please take care of yourselves and each other during this extended standdown. Don't forget about the boot challenge on the Instagram page, do your uniforms, keep in touch with your other flight and team members and remember we are all part of the #583family.

Take care, talk to you all soon, Finis Coronat Opus

Capt Taylor 😀

Good evening everyone. Mr. Miyashita sent out a newsletter earlier this evening. Below is some information recently received.

Sent on behalf of Brigadier General Cochrane:

A decision has been made to extend the cancellation of ALL CADET ACTIVITIES, including local training until 30 April, 2020. Prior to Thursday, 30 April, 2020, further direction will be provided, including the potential for this cancellation to be extended.

We do not have any further information regarding Summer Training or Scholarship programs at this time. Decisions will likely be made in the next few weeks as we all continue to practice social/physical distancing. Please do so diligently and seriously. If you get sick, please notify the Squadron of when you got sick, so that we can determine if any other action is needed. Email to this address - 583Air@cadets.gc.ca.

I realize there may be a lot of questions that we can’t answer right now. This is a fluid situation, one which none of us has experienced before. In the next week I'm going to be asking the Flight Commanders to contact their cadets to check in with them. Let’s work together to get through this, Stay home and Stay Safe and the Staff and SSC look forward to seeing you all as soon as we can.

Again, if anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at the squadron email above or on my cell at 778-994-4464.

Hello Cadets and Cadet Families.

583 Squadron Update:

How have Netflix, Disney+ and Shaw on Demand been treating you? In all seriousness, we hope that you all are finding things keep you occupied and not necessarily relying on technology.

As ordered by the Commanding Officer for Pacific Air Cadets, ALL Cadet activities until April 3, 2020 are cancelled. This included the Officers and SCC meeting for Squadron business. In true military fashion, we followed the order by not meeting in person; we adapted, improvised and overcame by holding a marathon 9 1/2 hour video conference meeting. Ok, we relied on technology.

We would normally be sending out the weekly announcements, but we have not received any new orders or updates. To replace, the I/C’s have contributed the following:

Ground School: Stay tuned for an email on Reading Assignments. (Until then, watch Top Gun. You’ll be quizzed on your ability to quote the movie when we return.)

Band: Practise your music. Everyone starts at the beginning. We don’t have control over much, but we can control how much we practise and why. Remember: Music is Life, and that’s why we have Heart Beats. Open the window and play. Trophies are not won at competition, they are won by practising at home and when able to, together! Competition is where we pick up our trophy. Remember, we believed in you and we miss your faces...a lot!

Boot Polishing Challenge: Take a “before” photo of your boots and send it to the IG page, tagged with #583Boots. When we return, the officers will judge the best boots. Leaders lead from the front, so I nominate 2Lt Lamb.

It’s also a good time to get your physical fitness up. First thing in the morning, start with 5 push ups a day and add 1 every day. Let’s see where you can get to. You may even surprise yourself.

If you get sick, please notify the Squadron of when you got sick, so that we can determine if any other Cadets in the Squadron may have been in contact with you. Email to this address - 583Air@cadets.gc.ca.

Please follow all preventative protocols and wash your hands. It’s tough to stay away from your friends, so be creative to let your fellow Cadets know that we are all in this together.
In Partnership,

Dave Miyashita

3. 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.
