Dear Members of Bow Valley Branch

The cadet year is fast coming to an end. The Annuals for both Corps signal a summer break. For some cadets and Officers it means off to summer camp to meet new friends and renew acquaintances. It also signals time for the Bow Valley Branch Annual General Meeting (AGM). This year the AGM is on Monday, May 13, 2013 at 6:30pm. The first half of the meeting will be the business part that will conclude the 2012-2013 year. The second part is the election of new Branch Board Members.
This year there are a number of openings on the Branch that will have to be filled. If these positions are not filled, we run the risk of having an ineffective Branch. Unable to conduct the business of the Branch, we would therefore leave ourselves open to Alberta Division, Navy of Canada (the body that oversees all Branches in Alberta) will come in and take over our Branch and can disband both Corps and sublease the building.
With a large membership base all openings should be able to be filled. The stronger the Branch becomes the more able it will be to sustain and support this new challenge of having a building for years to come. A lot of work has gone into making this a unique and functional facility for our Cadets and Officers.
The Branch has been known for its hard working parents that have focused on supporting a great program for both Corps. To regain that strength, the Branch needs a good mixture of parents from both Corps. The more members that become involved in the running or helping the Branch, the more positive and easier it becomes to have a stellar program for these two great Corps.
As member of Branch by coming out on May 13th to the AGM you will have a chance to become a part of the Branch and the new challenges that are ahead.

If you have any questions about, the program, the Corps, the Branch or if you think you would like to become a member of the board please contact me at ranrjohnson@gmail.com. Or take a few minutes to view the third page of this note. It may answer some of your questions that you have about being a part of the Branch.

Come out and be a part of the Branch this year! Please note: You must have your membership card to be eligible to vote.

See you on the 13th of May!!

1. It’s expected that Sea Cadets will again be offered billets to sail aboard Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Ships during summer 2013. Such deployments are usually 3 or 6 weeks in duration and are usually held between late June and August. In anticipation of these billets, we’re inviting Sea Cadets and CIC (Sea) Officers to submit their applications.

> DEPLOYMENT DETAILS
2. The CCG ship deployment is a demanding and unique opportunity and is only available to a handful of Sea Cadets and CIC (Sea) officers. For this reason, only very deserving cadets and officers’ > deemed capable of successfully completing the training will be considered for selection. It’s therefore important that:

a. cadets and officers’ considering applying have a good understanding of the training’s schedule and conditions and eligibility requirements (para 3);

b. chain of command (Corps COs, ACOs, RCSU SOs and RMLOs) comments be based on that same information.

3. Deployment conditions, medical support and selection prerequisites provided below should be used to gain a better understanding of the training and to assess an individual’s capability, suitability and eligibility.

a. Deployment Conditions. The CCG training takes place generally aboard a CCG icebreaker. The ship, under the command of a qualified CCG Captain, sails off the Canadian East coast up to the North Arctic Seas for a period of 3 or 6 weeks and continuously at sea for up to 5 days. During this training, cadets and officers’ are expected to be involved in every part of shipboard operations (operations room watches, upper deck operations, husbandry, cookery, engineering, damage control, safety, etc.) in a 24/7 watch system.

b. Medical Support. A CCG First Aid Attendant is aboard while the CCG Ships are underway. The medical team can provide only basic first aid, simple urgent care needs (seasickness, minor lacerations, colds, etc.) and initial stabilization of emergencies in preparation for transport. There is no lab or x-ray available. There is no medication on board for treatment of chronic illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart failure. In case of a medical emergency, and considering that substantial distances are commonly involved in obtaining assistance, there is no easy or quick way to evacuate patients to a medical facility. Evacuation to a medical facility may take from 10 to 24 hours.
