Cadet Petty Officer 2nd Class Aidan Seepersaud from 304 RCSCC CHAUDIERE in Milton attended the 2021 Cadet Activity Program.

This is his personal account, in his own voice, while participating on CAP (Cadet Activity Program), which was a fully online program offered to cadets across Ontario by Cadets Canada, during the spring break, 12-19 April, and PO2 Seepersaud represented Milton. For brevity part of his submission has been removed for publication space purposes.

“I enjoyed the CAP program, mainly because of the flexibility of the activities and that it was self-led, letting me do what I would like to do. Along with the fact it was more educational in different aspects, that led me down rabbit holes, that ended up teaching me more than I expected to learn.”

Necessity has always been the mother of invention and there is arguably nothing within the last century that has challenged the ingenuity of artists in producing and showing their work as COVID-19.

The Fine Arts Society of Milton (FASM) has done some hard thinking about how local artists can continue to exercise their creative impulses and to share their works with the public in a safe and easy way.  FASM is now proud to announce the launch of the FASM Gallery at FASMgallery.com

The benefits are many with this latest initiative. Artists can continue their practice and are able to post directly to the website either for display or for sale. Customers can be assured of a COVID safe transaction purchase will be sent directly to their chosen address.
