The safety and security of all who participate in our programs is always one of my top priorities. Combined with our commitment to developing in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, it was clear to me that Canada’s Cadet and Junior Canadian Rangers programs could not in good faith carry on with our planned summer activities while the rest of the Canadian Armed Forces is gearing up to assist Canadians in the face of COVID-19, and any other challenges they may face.
Are you age 12 to 18 and interested in flying? Are you looking for a challenge to bring out the best in you? Look no further, Air Cadets is the program for you! By joining us, you'll make lifelong friends, learn valuable skills and increase your self esteem.
Where: We are based in the Bay Street Armoury; in the heart of Victoria.
When: Training (parade) night is every Monday from 6:15 to 9:15pm. Other activities such as fundraising, optional training, band practice, ground school and exercises take place throughout the week and on weekends.
Success Through Partnership: The huge success of the Air Cadet Program is the result of the strong partnership between the Department of National Defence (DND) and the civilian Air Cadet League of Canada (ACL). Locally, each Air Cadet Squadron is staffed with officers of the Cadet Instructors Cadre, a reservist component of DND and operates with the support of a local sponsoring committee. Our local ACL sponsor is the 89 (Pacific) Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron Support Association.
