=========================================================
Good morning/afternoon/evening all Silver and Gold Stars,
As happens every year, Silver and Gold Star Cadets are required to attend a CES to aid in the development of your soft skills for use at the unit as a Cadet & everywhere else! If you're not sure what those kinds of skills entail, they include things such as problem solving, teamwork, leadership, and many other things - these are only a few things you will learn more about during this unique training opportunity. You will be learning these soft skills through the use of hard skills such as: navigation/map & compass, canoeing, biking, and/or hiking.
What makes this Training unique from what we do at the unit? You will be going to a new Training site & be training with a variety of Cadets from other units in the Ottawa and surrounding area in safe, fun, and challenging activities. Your Star Level Officers have already gone over the bulk of the basics on what to expect & what you will need, but please also be sure to review the entire Joining Instructions (see above) to make sure you are fully prepared for a fun, safe, and challenging weekend in the outdoors!
Some other tips and reminders include:
Regards,
Capt Steven McNaughton

Some other tips and reminders include:
- Ensure you bring your health card - know where it is, and keep it safe!
- Dress for the weekend is civilians - remember, they must be APPROPRIATE for completing the weekend's activities.
- Be prepared for hiking, biking, and canoeing - the Joining Instructions make clear what you need to bring, so make sure you have the clothes needed to complete these activities.
- NO JEANS are allowed! If you want to bring sweat pants for comfort at night this is OK, but you need to have another pair of pants to train during the day.
- Water shoes MUST be CLOSED-TOED and able to secure to your feet (Crocs DO NOT secure to your feet). An old pair of running shoes also works very well.
- Always check the weather before you pack - make sure you have enough extra clothes & that you waterproof your bag in the event it rains. Putting your clothes in garbage bags, and then placing those garbage bags inside a duffel works very well for keeping your clothes dry.
- If you read the JIs, review the kit list, read the above, and you still have questions regarding the weekend or what is required of you, please get in touch with your Star Level Officer for more details.

4 - REMINDERS
a. Reminder regarding the Silver & Gold Expedition Weekend (from Fall 2018)
Good morning all,
Please note that if you did NOT attend the expedition weekend, you still require this training in order to fully qualify for your Silver or Gold star program. I appreciate those that came forward before the weekend to inform me of your inability to attend, but unfortunately, we will not be able to load ANYONE to Expedition weekends in other areas at this time.
Due to the necessary costs & logistics required from the Region to gather such a large number of Cadets together at one time, we will not be able to send your son or daughter to other areas to complete this requirement during the 2018-19 training year. As this is an issue out of the hands of our Cadet unit, you will NOT be penalized for being unable to attend. You instead MUST attend the Expedition weekend(s) at the beginning of the next Training Year (2019-20).
In other words,
If there are any additional questions or concerns regarding this matter, please be sure to get in contact with your associated Star Level Officer - CV Zeitoun for Silver Star & MWO Boivin or CV Jack for Gold Star.

Capt Steven McNaughton

In other words,
- If you missed the Silver Expedition, you will continue into Gold Star training next year - under the assumption you successfully complete their SILVER & GOLD CES training in 2019-2020.
- If you missed the Gold Expedition, you will be added to the Instructor list FOLLOWING your completion of the GOLD CES training in 2019-2020.
If there are any additional questions or concerns regarding this matter, please be sure to get in contact with your associated Star Level Officer - CV Zeitoun for Silver Star & MWO Boivin or CV Jack for Gold Star.
