The Air Cadet Program
Cadets form a national organization whose purpose is to develop in youth the attributes
of leadership, engaged and active citizenship and physical fitness, all within a
safe environment that stimulates an interest in the Canadian Forces.

training for senior cadets. Some of the courses offered to Air Cadets at the local
level are:
