The Cadet and Junior Canadian Rangers has apologized after unvaccinated cadets were marked with pens and segregated at the London International Airport on May 7 before being denied the opportunity to participate in a training exercise on two different C-130 Hercules planes.
Last Saturday, squadrons from across Ontario were bussed into London, Ontario to fly on two C-130 Hercules planes provided by the 436 Transport Squadron from Trenton.
True North spoke with a concerned parent who said her 15-year-old son was devastated by the incident. The mother wished to remain anonymous but provided photographs of her son’s hand marked with a crossed out zero.
“His superiors, his captains all were not aware. Everybody thought that they were able to attend, including prior to leaving Saturday morning,” she said. “They got on a bus early Saturday morning. From where I live, it’s well over two hours to get to London, so they all traveled together.”
“What he said was that when they came – I don’t know at what point – but the bus stopped, and this army person came on the bus, and he asked whoever was vaccinated had to put their hands up. And then he asked who was not vaccinated in front of everybody to put up their hands.”
“At some point, he got a zero marked on his hand,” she said. “So did every child that wasn’t vaccinated.”
“Once they offloaded, they weren’t allowed to go on the tarmac where you line up to go on the flight. They then moved over to the concrete area. Being in the concrete area there behind the fence, they actually had the best view of everybody all happy taking pictures and taking videos.” (more...)
