Purdy's Christmas Fundraiser

The 111 Pegasus Squadron is one again hosting a Purdy's Holiday Chocolate fundraiser.  If you plan to buy chocolates this holiday season please purchase them through our fundraiser link here: https://fundraising.purdys.com/662851-80477.  The Squadron will receive 25% of the value of your order and you and your family will receive delicious Purdy's chocolates.  The deadline for placing orders is November 25.  The chocolates will be delivered to the Squadron on December 3 and we will find the best socially distanced way to deliver the chocolates after that date.

Returning Cadets Registration

Please be reminded all returning cadets must complete the SSC returning cadet registration form and e-mail it to communication111air@gmail.com.  Once we receive the form we will send an invoice for the SSC Assessment.  The SSC has a financial support policy in place and no cadet will be turned away if their family is unable to pay the SSC Assessment.  If this Assessment creates a financial barrier to registering for the 111 Pegasus Squadron please contact the SSC Chair (chair111air@gmail.com) for a confidential discussion regarding this challenge.

Squadron Sponsoring Committee

The Air Cadet program is jointly sponsored by the Department of National Defense (DND) and the Air Cadet League of Canada (ACL).  As a partner to the ACL the 111 Pegasus Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC) supports the 111 Pegasus Squadron. Funding for many Cadet activities is provided by the DND; however, there are a number of events and costs that are not funded by the DND including, but not limited to, facility rentals for activities outside the Armoury, website expenses, aircraft maintenance, familiarization flying costs, certain extra-curricular activities, band instruments, insurance, volunteer screening, award trophies and plaques, cadet dinners.  In order to support the SSC in providing funding for these activities we request an SSC Assessment fee from each registering cadet and require cadets to participate in fundraising activities during the year.  The SSC has a financial support policy in place and no cadet will be turned away if their family is unable to pay the SSC Assessment.  If this Assessment creates a financial barrier to registering for the 111 Pegasus Squadron please contact the SSC Chair (chair111air@gmail.com) for a confidential discussion regarding this challenge.  Given the reduced activities available for the 2020/2021 Training Year the SSC Assessment has been reduced to $150.

The forms below are the SSC registration package.  These forms are separate from the DND registration forms above.  The first form is required for all cadets so the SSC knows how to contact our parents while the second is only mandatory for parents who are volunteering to assist at cadet activities.
  1. 2020-2021 Registration Form - Required for all cadets
  2. Volunteer Screening Package
Please complete these forms and e-mail them to the SSC at register111air@gmail.com.

Note With respect to the screening package.  These forms are required for parents willing to be screened to support the squadron as volunteers.  From time to time the Squadron requires parents to volunteer as drivers for various activities or to help with events during the training year.  BCPC policy requires all volunteers to be screened to ensure the safety and security of our cadets.  Please complete these forms if you are wiling to undergo screening to help us out during the year.  If you have any questions about the screening process we will be happy to discuss them with you.

Air Cadet Foundation Logo Contest

Are you a current Air Cadet? Do you have artistic talent? Are you interesting in potentially winning $200? Then the Air Cadet Foundation Logo Contest is for you. Details are in the pdf file here.

Name Tag Orders

We will be ordering name tags for cadets who want extra or replacement name tags. All first year cadets will automatically receive their first name tag at no charge so they are not required to complete this form unless they want to purchase an extra tag. NOTE:  If you need a name tag you MUST use the order form below even if you have already told supply you want a name tag.  Name tags are available in three styles:
  1. Standard Name Tag - these are the name tags issued to all cadets in their first year and are available for $4.00 each.
  2. Superclip Name Tag - these name tags are held on the uniform with pins same as the standard tags but have a much better clip which is less prone to coming off. These tags are available for $6.00 each.
  3. Magnetic Name Tag - these name tags use a magnet to attach to the uniform. They will not work with a tunic because the material is much too thick for the magnet to attach through. These tags are available for $7.50 each.

If you want to submit an order please clock on the link below for the order form. You must pay for your name tag at canteen on a Monday night before we submit the order. We will collect payments on Monday March 2, 9 and 16.

IMPORTANT - Pick Up/Drop Off and Parking

Under no circumstances should any 111 Parent or Cadet park in the following illegal locations as you are subject to ticketing or towing by parking enforcement personnel and it puts the Squadron at risk of having our neighbours phone the authorities to have the rules enforced:
  1. The military zone in front of the armoury.
  2. Blocking access to the gated area beside the building.
  3. On the north side of the street between the building and the railway tracks.
  4. In the cul-de-sac at the end of 11th Ave

The area on 11th Ave gets very congested at the beginning and end of the each training night in order to ensure the safety of all of our cadets and their families please remember there are easy drop off/pick up points on Maple Street to the East of the Armoury or on Arbutus Street to the West of the Armoury.  Please make the process faster and easier for all cadets and their families and help reduce the impact on our neighbours by using these locations.

Thanks for your cooperation.
