CONTACT: John Evans OPC Lottery Survey We have asked for input and viewpoints through an online survey regarding the annual lottery. We kindly ask those who hold stake in the organization, such as; Squadron Sponsoring Committee members, Civilian Volunteers and DND staff, complete the survey and encourage parent of Cadets to complete the survey as well. This very important survey had been developed due to a significant number of the OPC 2016 Business Briefing attendees that ‘have indicated that they favour replacing the lottery as a means of raising funds for both the OPC and the SSC’. In short, should we continue conducting an annual lottery or eliminate it? Please carefully read the informational section before answering the survey questions. The survey will be open until the end of September. Begin Survey >> https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Y995ZNB The survey link may also be accessed from the aircadetleague.on.ca website (front page). QUESTIONS/COMMENTS? CONTACT: Michael Hopkins Digital Lottery Posters — Coming Soon! Digital lottery posters templates in various sizes will be made available to assist with SSC lottery campaigns. They will be created in Microsoft Word and may be adjusted to display squadron information.
