We're back! It's been a good summer and now we are ready for a new cadet year!
This week all cadets will be in person at the Armoury building. This
will be either Friday or Saturday depending on your cadet’s level. New cadets
joining the unit are level 1 cadets. Also, keep in mind that returning cadets
have gone up a level.

Parents!!!
This section is very important for you to read!!!
The Carleton Street Armoury will only be accessible by the Gated
Entrance facing Carleton Street (across from the Fredericton Public
Library). Do not attempt to access the building using the Riverside door.
The door will be controlled by a Duty Officer at all times. The following 5
questions will be asked to all cadets before they enter the building. If your
child answers any of the 5 questions with a "Yes" answer, your
child will
not be allowed to enter the building. This means that you should not
leave until your child tells you he/she is cleared to enter the building. Parents are not
permitted inside the Armoury as this will affect the
mandated Indoor Gathering Restriction. This is also because we need to have
complete control of the building.
Here
are the 5 questions that will be asked:
1) Are you experiencing any severe difficulty breathing or severe chest
pain?
2) Are you experiencing any mild or moderate shortness of breath or
unable to lay down due
to being short of breath?
3. Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?
- new or worsening cough?
- an increased temperature?
- feeling of fever or chills?
- experiencing muscle aches?
- loss of smell or taste?
- feeling unwell?
- Have/had any upset stomach or diarrhea?
4) Have you traveled outside Canada within the last 14 days (including the United States)?
5) In the last 14 days, have you had close contact with a person with
symptoms of COVID-
19 or who has traveled outside the Atlantic provinces?
Again,
if your cadet answers "Yes" to any of the questions your cadet will
not be allowed entry into the building. We will ask that your cadet remains
away from physical cadet activities for two weeks prior to an attempt to
return.
We
ask that your cadet brings a Community Non-Medical Face Mask while attending
Physical Training. They will be expected to keep their mask on during the
entire evening or morning. If your cadet does not own a face mask, one will be
provided upon their arrival.
Once
they have entered the Armoury, cadets will undergo a short orientation to go
over the rules and guidelines established for the building. This will include
the contact tracing sheet, general guidelines, sanitization, traffic
orientation and restrictions, common areas, and expectations.
Should
you have any questions with regards to COVID-19 Safety Guidelines, please feel
free to contact Captain Allain at the following address
(philippe.allain@cadets.gc.ca).
REMINDER: Lt Jennings would like you all to try on your uniforms to see what fits
and to report what doesn't. Bring your uniform pieces that don’t fit so we can give
you a replacement.
Also, feel free to reach out to Lt Jennings via email should you
already know you need a new uniform piece. Please include what your current
size is and how it needs to be adjusted. ryan.jennings@cadets.gc.ca
