Over the past weekend (22-24 May) Cadets from 285 RCACC, 875 RCACS (Antigonish) and 374 RCACS (Westville) participated in a joint FTX!

Cadets had the opportunity to learn several key skills such as
-Emergency/Wilderness First Aid
-Radio Procedures
-Knot Tying
-Improvised Shelter Building
-Search and Rescue Procedures

Cadets also participated in a mock airplane crash in which some cadets were given injuries and sent into the brush with seniors and another group was tasked with locating and treating these injuries using the skills they acquired over the weekend!

Also a big shoutout to ALL of the senior cadets who planned and executed an amazing FTX thank you all for your hard work!
