Spring Tag Days 2016

Over the past weekend, our Squadron hosted one of our two tag day weekends for 2015-2016.  Tag days are a crucial part of the running of the squadron, and provide most of the funds for our activities.  Among the activities funded by tag days are familiarization flights, field training exercises, the annual Pegasus Challenge, sports nights, and all of our teams.  While tagging, cadets brave the cold, rainy Vancouver weather, and are greeted back at the armoury with food and hot chocolate.

This weekend, the Squadron raised a total of $10,434, which, when combined with our income from fall tag days, makes a grand total for the year of $22,648.  This is an improvement over last year’s fundraising, despite the inclement weather.  Without tag days, running 111 would not be possible, and we would all like to say a huge thank you to all of the cadets, parents, and officers who make these events happen.
