Closer to a finished look

The weather has played a key factor in finishing the exterior of our building. In spite of all this, the siding should be completed in the next week.

Roughed In Offices

The office and washroom spaces are nearly roughed-in. They are in a good position to be finished for startup in the fall. This will depend on summer work parties and funding.

Floor is finished !!

The floor is poured and cut. We are now in a position to finish the washrooms and start the offices and classrooms

$175,000 Government Grant

MLA George Groenveld and Ted Morton presented a Government Grant in the Amount of $175,000 to the 187 Foothills Air Cadets on the morning of 20 March 2009. These funds have allowed the commencement to completion of the building. The next few weeks shall see an increase in activity around the building. Several Contractors are set to start in their area of expertise from Electrical to In-floor heating.
This money will bring the building alot closer to completion but a shortfall is still foreseen.
A review of floor plans has identified a couple areas of concern that would present a few problems as our Squadron grows, so these points are being addressed in the building stage.
