5 Squadron Sponsoring Committee
|
The Sponsoring Committee is a group of parents and volunteers 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 and act as a liaison.
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. Sub-committees are formed throughout the year to support the several activities that the squadron participates in, such as fund raising, coordinating dances, planning the annual parade, Christmas diner, formal diners, rental of facilities, newsletters to name a few. The Committee plays and important role in the success of all our cadet’s and depends on the constant and dynamic support of parents. If you are interested in being a part of the Squadron’s committee and working with the cadets, we ask that you please fill out the Screening Forms Page. We will then proceed with an interview. If you would like to learn more about the role of the committee please read the Sponsor Committee Charter or by talking to any of its members. We look forward hearing and working with you.
