Hello Buffalo Family;

With last year behind us, we are looking at a brand new training year IN PERSON!!!. We are so excited to have you back and hope you enjoyed your summer.

Down to business. Our first night back will be Tuesday, September 6th. We will be parading temporarily at the Forest Heights Community Association. The address is
4909 Forego Avenue SE (Map Attached)

We are using this space until we can get back into Ernest Morrow Junior High School which is our normal space.

The opening parade will start at 1830 hours. Cadets and new recruits should arrive just before. We would ask senior cadets to arrive at 1815 hours. The dress for the parade is Summer Dress (light blue dress shirt, trousers, ankle boots, tie, and rank slip-on). New recruits please wear a white dress shirt, black pants, and appropriate footwear.

On our first night back we will also be holding our CO's parade and an age-out ceremony for one of our cadets at the end of the night therefore we would ask that parents arrive at 2030 hours. There will also be important announcements taking place this evening.

Avery Invitational cup day two: volleyball!

Thank you to all the squadrons who participated in this weekend’s Avery Cup. A huge shoutout to all the volunteer refs, scorekeepers, and linesman who kept the games going, and a massive thank you to our commanding officer Major Van Apeldoorn and Captain Vargyas from 83 squadron for organizing the game schedules and the weekend as a whole!
This day was very special to us as it is Jacqueline Avery’s birthday, and 538 Buffalo’s senior volleyball team came out on top with a huge victory, placing first in the sport that Jacqueline loved!
In 2nd place came 88 squadron, and in 3rd was 604 squadron.
For the junior teams, the first place finishers were 52’s b group!

Thank you to everyone who participated in day one of the Avery Invitational sports tournament! A very momentous occasion for the 538 Buffalo senior basketball team as they won first place in the senior category, in WO2 Jacqueline Avery’s honour. Congratulations also to 604 Moose squadron’s junior team who placed first in their category! A very successful day for all involved 🏆
