📢 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR!

Our proud sponsor, the Rotary Club of Cobourg, is looking for volunteers this Saturday, November 7th, to help assemble reusable menstrual hygiene kits for schoolgirls in the Dominican Republic.

This is a fantastic opportunity for high school students looking to earn community volunteer hours while making a meaningful difference in the lives of others!

🧵 No sewing experience is necessary! All helping hands are welcome, regardless of experience or skill level.

While 598 Sabre Squadron will be proudly supporting the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign that day, we encourage our cadets, families, and community members who are available to come out and support our sponsor in this worthwhile initiative!

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

With the help of dedicated community volunteers and local Rotary Clubs like ours, this incredible initiative sews and distributes reusable menstrual pad kits directly to schoolgirls in one community in the Dominican Republic. In Consuelo, Dominican Republic when girls reach puberty and begin menstruation many of them stop going to school because they don't have access to feminine hygiene products.

Here is how it makes a lifelong impact:
-Keeps girls in the classroom so they can finish their education.
-Breaks the cycle of early pregnancy and systemic poverty.
-Empowers young women with the dignity and tools they deserve.

When: Saturday November 7, 2026 from 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
3 shifts: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM; 12:00 - 3:00 PM; 3:00 - 6:00 PM
Where: The Salvation Army - 59 Ballantine St, Cobourg

HOW TO SIGN UP:
1. Send us an e-mail at: [email protected]
2. Tell us the names and ages of the people in your party that are going to volunteer
3. Tell us which shift(s) you would like to volunteer for
4. Tell us if you'll be bringing your own sewing machine and how many.

This weekend, cadets took on an exciting Fall FTX at Grafton, filled with new experiences, challenges, and plenty of fun! Throughout the weekend, cadets learned valuable survival skills, practiced building tents and shelters, and developed new skills that they can carry with them beyond the field. 🍂🏕️
Between lessons and training, cadets also had the chance to enjoy some fun games, strengthen teamwork, and make memories with their fellow cadets. From enjoying MREs in the field to being lucky enough to have OSMOW’S for dinner, it was definitely a weekend to remember! 🌲🔥
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this FTX such a memorable experience. We’re proud of everything our cadets accomplished this weekend! 💙

🇨🇦 Remembering the Battle of Britain 🇬🇧

From July to October 1940, aircrew from Britain, Canada and other Allied nations fought in the skies over Britain in one of the defining campaigns of the Second World War. Their courage, determination and sacrifice during those critical months helped change the course of the war.

Today, the cadets of 598 Sabre Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron marched to the Cobourg Cenotaph, where they hosted a cadet-led remembrance service honouring “The Few”, the aircrew who defended Britain during the Battle of Britain.

For our Squadron and our community, this history touches particularly close to home.

Flying Officer Robert Leslie (R.L.) Edwards of Cobourg served as a fighter pilot with No. 1 (RCAF) Squadron during the Battle of Britain. On August 26, 1940, Edwards was killed in action at just 28 years old, becoming the first fatal combat casualty of his squadron during the Battle.

More than 85 years later, young Air Cadets from the same community gathered at our Cenotaph to remember Edwards and all those who served as part of “The Few.” It is a powerful reminder that the names and stories we remember are not simply pieces of history, they belonged to people from communities like ours.

For Air Cadets, the Battle of Britain holds a particularly meaningful place in our history. Today provided our cadets with an opportunity to carry forward the tradition of remembrance and ensure that the courage and sacrifice of those who came before us are not forgotten.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
— Winston Churchill, 1940

Lest We Forget. 🇨🇦
