 Time to return!

With the return to training we would like to as all cadets, current and retired, to have a look in their closet for boots and unforms that you are no longer wearing and return them to the Supply Desk on Tuesday evenings.

The cadet program is facing a uniform shortage this year and your returned items could make a difference to a cadet that may not be issued a uniform this year.

All items are required to be laundered prior to being returned.

Thank you for your support!
