What is Air Cadets?

Cadets is a program for youth in Canada, ages 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of challenging and rewarding activities, and learn more about the Canadian Armed Forces.

​

Air Cadets have the opportunity to earn their civilian pilot licenses through the program and many go on to enjoy civilian aviation-related careers, while others choose to pursue flying as an enjoyable life-long hobby. While aviation is one of the main aspects specific to the air element, the program also offers training towards a variety of fields including survival, athleticism, music, marksmanship, and much more. Air Cadets also focuses on developing leadership, through confidence building activities and practical experience. These young leaders are trusted with leadership responsibilities and a position within the hierarchy of the squadron.

The most popular and reinforcing opportunity available in Air Cadets is the summer training camp program. At camp, Air Cadets attend specialty courses ranging from 1 week to 7 weeks long. 

​

All activities and training at 5 Cyclone Squadron are conducted in English with limited ability to assist in French if needed.
