The Royal Canadian Air Cadets
The Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program is a youth development initiative designed for young Canadians, ages 12 to 18, with a focus on aviation, aerospace, leadership, and citizenship.
Established in 1941, the program aims to instill discipline, confidence, and community involvement through a wide range of activities, including ground school, flying, and other aviation-related subjects. Cadets are also given opportunities to participate in physical fitness, leadership training, survival skills, and volunteer community service.
The program encourages personal growth, helping young people develop valuable life skills such as teamwork, responsibility, and problem-solving. With a strong emphasis on mentorship and volunteerism, the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program is an excellent stepping stone for those interested in pursuing careers in aviation, the military, or any field that values leadership and dedication.
The program operates in communities across Canada and is supported by both the Canadian Armed Forces and dedicated civilian volunteers.
"To learn – to serve – to advance"
