The Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC) is a group of dedicated parents and volunteers from the community working with squadron staff to represent the Air Cadet Program within the local community. Their role is to ensure indispensable local support for squadron needs as well as take care of all the logistics involved in the squadron activities.
The Sponsoring Committee's role is integral to the success and sustainability of the Air Cadet Program in the local community. Their dedication and efforts contribute significantly to the overall experience and development of the cadets involved in the program. The committee is comprised of 5 executive positions and 8 sub-executive positions. Its success is a result of the co-operation between the Canadian Forces, volunteers and local community support. The Committee plays and important role in the success of all our cadet’s and depends on the constant and dynamic support of parents and community members. If you would like to learn more about the role of the committee please read the Squadron Sponsor Committee By-laws 2019 (below) or speak to any of its members. If you are interested in being a part of the SSC and would like to work with the cadets, we ask that you please read the Volunteer welcome package 2024-04-19 and fill out the required screening forms and submit them to Kimberley Meadows at [email protected].
