5 Cyclone Squadron Sponsoring Committee
A Community Supporting Cadets.
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 Armed Forces, volunteers and local community support.

The committee plays an important role in the success of all our cadet's and depends on the constant and dynamic support of parents and community members.
