who have attained a level of excellence in the art of photography.

Winning entries may be selected (with the permission of the photographer and properly
accredited) for the following purposes:
• For publication in DND or CF publications and magazines.
• For publication on the DND Intranet or the DND Internet web site.

First off I'd like to say congratulations on a successful FTX this past weekend. Despite a few snags, the first corps FTX of the year went very well. Some photos have been posted already. If anybody has more they'd like posted, please get them to me.

This week is CO's Parade. Dress for Thursday is your Full Dress uniform. Make sure pants are ironed and boots are shone. If you don't yet have it, wear your black shirt with good pants and shoes as per usual. Every body must bring PT gear, including running shoes, to change into after the parade. Jeans are not acceptable PT gear. 

Wednesday night Biathlon practice has been canceled  this week as Lt Gebhardt has the flu.

Remembrance Day cenotaph party members need to remember to be at the Armouries this Wednesday at 1900hrs (7:00pm). Dress is appropriate civilians. Bring your parade boots.

Permission slips went home with cadets on Sunday for the Museum of the Regiments Tour in Calgary happening on 21 Nov 09. They need to be returned NLT 05 Nov 09 in order to participate. More permission slips will be handed out on Thursday night for those cadets who were not on the FTX.

As promised, Amazin Race photos are finally posted. The upload was over 300MB, and simply wasn't possible before. Sorry that it took so long. Enjoy!

I just remembered that I had these photos from Tim Horton's Camp Day back in the beginning of June. Cadets Robert and Brooke Rae did a great job representing us at the downtown Tim Horton's. The photos can now be found in our photo album.

On another note, I've finally cracked and paid for a Pro account on Flickr, so the Amazin Race photos should get posted this summer. This time I really mean it. If anybody still has photos from that event, please get them to myself or Capt Gerbrandt ASAP.

ACR photos have been added to the photo album. More descriptions will be added to the photos soon. If you have any photos that you took that you think should be in the album, from this or any other event, please email them to me at KFBradley at live dot ca.

Happy Monday everyone,

Sorry for the long email but there is a lot going on!

Congratulations to all cadets who received their star level badges and promotions last week, make sure they are sewn on for this weekend!

This is the start of busy week for everyone at the unit.  First off I will be sending this out in email and it will also be posted on the weekly blog as I still do not have email addresses for all the cadets and parents.

Thursday is corps photo night, please make sure you are there by 1830hrs and are wearing, beret, black corps T-shirt, new camo pants and combat boots.  Please make sure you have you belt as well.  For the ladies only one set of stud earrings in the centre of the ear lobe and no additional piercings are to be in.  Photos will be done first thing and will include a corps photo and individual shot for each cadet which can be ordered directly from me if you want enlargements or more photos for family.

Saturday is the Annual Ceremonial Review, ALL cadets and staff are to be at the Armoury at 0900hrs with their full dress uniforms and wearing PT gear.  Please make sure they/you eat a big hearty breakfast and bring a big healthy lunch with you. Also a reminder to bring a plate/tray of baked goods for refreshments after the parade.  Parents should come around 1415hrs (2:15 for seats). Most seats are on a first come first served basis.  Following the parade cadets will be required to clean up and they should be finished around 1630hrs.

Sunday we now have two decoration day parades to attend.  Please note that these are with the Royal Canadian Legion who are sponsors of our program.  Although I can not make them Mandatory I strongly suggest that all cadets attend these parades.  We will be meeting with members of the SALH Regiment for the Medicine Hat parade and all cadets will be required at 0700hrs Sunday at the Armoury.  We will be transported with the regiment to and from this parade.  We will require further arrangements to get to the Redcliff parade in the afternoon. Timings for the afternoon are to be determined.

Now, the final FTX set for next weekend.......June 19-21.  This is currently still not solidified.  It is however the opportunity of a lifetime for some parents.  The scoop is that we are unable to cover the cost of the bus for this activity.  Therefore I am looking for 5 or 6 parents that may be able to drive a group of 4 or more cadets out to our location and come and pick them up on Sunday.  It is a way of making sure we can do this exercise while still being able to start of next year on a good financial footing.  Please let me know by Thursday if you can help by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

I would also like to commend those who were involved with the bottle drive, $1800 was raised.  A good job was done by all!  Awards and trophies this year were sponsored by different people and organizations.  Some of these awards are available for sponsorship, so if your family or business would like to sponsor an award we would ask for a three year commitment with $50 per year for maintenance, engraving and keeper awards.  If you are interested please let me know.  We do still have some awards open from this year, so please call if interested and we can get them modified this week.

All those cadets attending summer training are reminded that they require government issue photo identification.  This can be passport or drivers license, or Alberta identification card which is available at all registry or license places.  We will have a meeting for all cadets and their parents who are attending summer camps on June 18 at 1900hrs please be there.

Any further questions can be answered Thursday evening.

We're currently looking for pictures to add to our photo gallery. If you have any pictures in digital format that you feel are worth putting up, please feel free to bring them on disc to the office on any Thursday night, and I can get them up for you.

Thanks
