Saturday morning we need 40 cadets to help with the cleanup at Lisaard House.  This is a community outreach events for 296 Squadron, and a tremendous opportunity for cadets to get involved. This will also allow the remaining cadets in the squadron to complete their community service for the year.

This is a tremendous facility, providing support and comfort to people with Cancer.    As part of the performance objective for community service, and in keeping with the Squadrons long history of service to the surrounding area – we’ll be there on Saturday 04 May 2019 doing a cleanup  project outside.

We welcome all cadets available that day – its a great way to get dirty, have some fun and make some high school volunteer hours.   ( We are aware the Band has a practice in the afternoon – and if they wish to come out for from 8-11 so they have time to get to their practice – we encourage them to attend)
