GRAVELBOURG – Cadets of 20 Freedom Fighter, Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron have returned to training as of Sept. 2. Captain Krista Kelly, Commanding Officer shared that many cadets were energized to share their summer training experiences.
This summer four cadets from 20 RCACS were selected to attend Cadet Training Centres (CTCs) in Alberta and British Columbia. These cadets developed self-confidence, self-discipline, and leadership skills through activities designed to challenge them, squadron leaders say.
The cadets participated in the following courses: Introduction to Marksmanship, Air Rifle Marksmanship Instructor, Aviation Technology and Aerospace, Survival Instructor, Introduction to Survival and Introduction to Sports and Fitness. In addition, one senior cadet was employed in a staff cadet position to assist in delivering course content and supervising cadets.
“The cadets of 20 RCACS are excited to attend our annual joint field training exercise that consists of five other corps and squadrons in our local area,” said Kelly.
“This experience will give all the cadets the opportunity to utilize what they have been taught during their summer training and to work with others while developing strong teambuilding skills. This is also a great opportunity for cadets to meet new people and make long-lasting friendships,”
The cadet program is open to all youth between the ages of 12-18 and provides youth opportunities to develop skills that will last a lifetime including teamwork and communication. Youth who are interested in joining the Cadet Program can do so by visiting or emailing [email protected].
