This morning we had briefing by the staff from the Directorate of Cadets and the Air Cadet League followed by an individual briefing by each Escort Officer with their cadets.
The afternoon was filled with a boat tour down the Rideau Canal where the various sights were pointed out by the guide. Following the boat tour, the cadets were given some time to shop in the Rideau Centre and the Byward Market area.
After returning to Carelton for supper, we went back downtown for a Haunted Walk tour. The guide told us various stories about ghost sightings and haunted locales in the downtown core. Some of the cadets were actually spooked by the stories. The guide was pretty good at her job.
The evening was supposed to end with a sound and light show on Parliament Hill but it was cancelled due to technical difficulties. Just as well though, a lot of the cadets were pretty tired. Tomorrow, Parliament Hill, the Supreme Court, the War Museum and IMAX.
