TRAINING DEPARTMENT
​
OUR PROGRAM
​
The Training Department is mandated to plan a standardized training plan, with both mandatory and complementary training. These are mandated through the QSPs, IGs and CATOS found here.
​
This allows for each Corps and Squadron across Canada to follow the same expectations, but be able to adjust to their specific needs.
​
Our Squadron also participates in multiple extra-curricular activities including community volunteering, sports related activities (tubing, indoor soccer, rock climbing), and trips (March Break trip to South Carolina in 2017, Canada's Wonderland, and inter-provincial trips)
​
Finally, each cadet has the opportunity to attend summer training, and earn approximated 60$/wk. Different training opportunities exist depending on the cadets interest, age and qualifications. Sports and Fitness, Drill and Ceremonial, Glider and Power Pilot Scholarships, Survival, Pipe/Military Band, and Aviation to name a few. For more information, click here.
