Exciting Opportunity: Free Hunter Education Course!
Cadets are invited to register for the Hunter Education Course, an online, self-paced course required for all first-time hunters in Alberta. Thanks to generous sponsorship from the Alberta Army Cadet League, the usual $70 registration fee is completely covered! The 2051 Dragoons Parent Committee will facilitate the cadet's registration.
​
Once registered, cadets must complete the course, as sponsorship funds are being invested in your success. You’ll also have the option to use the third training period (from November to April) at the LHQ to work on the course.
​
Stay connected! Registered cadets will be added to a Teams channel on Cadet365 for collaboration and access to helpful resources.
