To All Cadets,

There is a sign up form to in-person summer camps during the daytime hours this summer, pending COVID-19 restrictions.

If interested, please fill out the form as soon as possible as space is limited.

Hello all 907 Sqn Cadets!

We are looking to gauge interest for an outdoor, small group activity in late June, where cadets would be marking drains leading to fish-bearing streams in the South Surrey area.

This would take a few hours of your time, and count towards your Community Service & Physical Fitness training requirements. Cadets participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Program can also count this as credits towards their level.

Of course, this activity will be dependent on current COVID-19 restrictions. We would like to determine if there is interest for such an activity by 15 May 2021.

More details can be found here: https://www.surrey.ca/about-surrey/environment/salmon-tracks

To sign up, please fill out this google form: https://forms.gle/9GkxrP4VJMpqQsUc7

This month, we said farewell to WO1 Ursulesku, who ages out of 907 Squadron. 

WO1 Ursulesku joined 907 in 2015 with a keen interest in adventure and experiencing new activities. She took that will for adventure with her when she obtained medal standing results on the Squadron biathlon team for several years, as well as excelled in fitness, sports, and coaching; which led her to complete the Fitness and Sports Instructor Course in 2018, as well as obtain the Lord Strathcona Medal in 2020.

Within local Squadron training, she has served as Spitfire Flight Commander in the shortened 2019/2020 training year and has excelled in leadership opportunities with sports, FTX’s, and any other extra-curricular activity held at 907. Her poise, maturity, and hard work is strongly desired by many and personifies the model cadet we all strive to become.

Sadly, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic continuing to force all events to happen virtually, she is not able to address the cadets at large in a traditional parade prior to her departure. However, she has formed a speech outlined below:

I am sad to be leaving the cadet program after 6 years. I have made so many friends from all over the country. Cadets has allowed me to grow and become who I am today. I want to thank all of the officers for teaching me so much, and my peers for keeping me going. I have created so many amazing memories that I will remember forever. Thank you to CI Martin for sharing her love for biathlon and always giving me the support I needed. I will miss being a part of the biathlon family. I am very proud to be a part of 907 Black Knights Squadron and I hope that everyone will continue to strive for their best even under these difficult circumstances. I look forward to volunteering with the program in the future and watching you all grow soon.

WO1 Ursulesku

907 Squadron is pleased to announce its new Squadron Commander, Warrant Officer First Class Daniela Ursulesku!

WO1 Usrulesku joined 907 in 2015 with a focal interest in adventure and experiencing new activities.
