Shaughnessy Parents: Air Cadets

166 Bulldog Squadron

Royal Canadian Air Cadets

What is air Cadets?

Air Cadets was created by the Air Cadet League of Canada on April 9, 1941 to develop good citizens and leaders; to promote physical fitness; and provide an interest in the air related flying subjects. The Air Cadets program and activity are supervised by specially trained officers of the Royal Canadian Air Force, assisted by civilian staff and community volunteers.

Cadets have the chance to gain practical leadership skills, public speaking techniques, self-discipline, esprit de corps and instructional techniques not offered by any other youth organization.  These skills have been proven to help the cadets in their future careers in life and the confidence to approach and solve any problems they might encounter.

Bush Exercises

Our outdoor weekend exercises give the cadets a chance to display their new found leadership skills or the chance to improve on those they already possess: We give the cadet the opportunity to learn survival and teamwork techniques.

Flying and Gliding

The chance to fly in a powered aircraft or a glider is also available to the cadets of 166 Squadron free of charge.  The cadet ground school is available to all cadets within 166 Squadron who wish to become licensed pilots while in cadets.
