Event Chair: Lt(N) David Grant
DETAILS:
As previously announced several times at cadets, the Nanaimo Branch of the Navy League of Canada is conducting their annual Bottle Drive on Saturday 14 February 2026 1000-1400 (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) at two locations. Cadet participation is required 0830-1630 (8:30 AM - 4:30 PM) to assist with setup, sorting and cleanup. This will be broken down into 3 shifts:
- 0830-1030 (8:30 - 10:30 AM) - Setup & Sorting
- 1030-1330 (10:30 AM - 1:30 PM) - Sorting
- 1330-1630 (1:30 - 4:30 PM) - Sorting & Cleanup
A dropoff location will be open at Lighthouse Rotary Club of Nanaimo at Big Brothers Big Sisters location at 2030 Northfield Road, Nanaimo 1000-1400 (10:00 AM to 2:00 PM). For this location, we require 4 cadets (and hopefully, parents! 🤣)
The primary location will be at the Cadet Hall (750 Fifth St) 0830-1630 (8:30 AM - 4:30 PM). For this location, we NEED all cadets not signing up for the Northfield Road location (and again, hopefully, parents! 🤣)!!! Financial benefits from the bottle drive are distributed to the corps depending on the number of cadets, parents and family members, therefore we want great attendance for this event.
Lunch will be provided.
Dress: C5 (Sea Training Uniform) for cadets, #5 for officers.
