The Cadet Program is one of the largest federally sponsored youth programs in Canada. It is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities.
Good morning all,
Gliding is still a go for the morning group. There will be another post coming out closer to the start time of the afternoon group to confirm that we are still a go.
Cadets going gliding this morning make sure you dress for the weather and bring your health card, water bottle and own snacks. All cadets gliding must have a signed permission form before gliding.
Thank you
We have some orders that have not been picked up yet. They will be available until 8pm latest at Canadian Tire Service Centre.
All families,
Your Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC) is made up of parents of current/former cadets and is responsible for much of the day-to-day funding of our local program.
DND provides funding for Officers/Staff, summer training, Area Directed Activities etc. The balance of the funding for the program are local costs your SSC is responsible for to “keep the lights on”. They include:
One of our big costs every year is the Air Cadet League’s cadet assessment fee. Each year we ask cadet families to help us cover this cost.
No young person will ever be turned away from the Cadet Program for financial reasons. With that said, we are asking families to donate the amount of $150 to help offset the Assessment Fee.
For families that would like financial assistance, please reach out Owen or Rob at the parents table, or email ssc@87eagle.ca.
For those who have paid the assessment fee, thank you!
For those still looking to do so, payment of the Assessment fee can be made by cash or cheque to the SSC Treasurer, Owen Gifford, or can be made through Direct E-Transfer to the email treasurer@87eagle.ca (email is set up for direct deposit, so no security question is needed, and please add the Cadet(s) name in the comment section). Please see the attached form for details:
Any questions on donations, please contact the SSC Treasurer, Owen Gifford, at the above email.

Good day all cadets and parents.
