A great recruiting drive took place at the 2011 St. Thomas Air Show; the proof is in the glider! Many thanks to OPC Director Marika Booton, our CRGS military partners, cadets and staff of 3 "Striker" Squadron Strathroy, 741 "Elgin" Squadron St. Thomas, and 599 "Marc Garneau" Squadron London and all who made this such a successful event. Another outstanding example of the partnership in action!
