   1. As a parent of a cadet, you are encouraged to attend and it would be great to meet other parents. You can get updates on what is coming up in this training year, it is a great opportunity to ask any questions that you may have and have a say in the Squadron’s Sponsoring Committee.  After the meeting, Chair MacDonald will also be offering an information session to any parents of new cadets to the program. As well, if you have any questions about being involved in the Sponsoring Committee and wanted to learn more about how you can be more involved, this is a great time to do that. The 5 Cyclone sponsoring committee is made up of parent and community volunteers interested and able to invest a small amount of time per month to ensure the success of our squadron.
