| Activity Alert: Internet Scavenger Hunt Returning to RRU this year is our very own Internet Scavenger Hunt. It’s a great way to sharpen your Internet search skills and pick up a few cybersecurity tips along the way. Here’s the details:
We’ll be drawing from all entries for a special prize – A sight-seeing flight over Victoria / Sooke. The winner and one or two guests will be my guests for a flight over the local area in a Cessna 172 aircraft from the Victoria Flying Club. It’s a fun way to see our community. And of course, we’ll circle the Castle once or twice. So get those entries in to securityawareness@royalroads.ca. |
