The Air League is a national organisation whose purpose is to develop in youth the attributes of leadership, engaged and active citizenship and physical fitness.

The Air League offers challenges, friendship and adventure! It’s an opportunity to expand horizons, contribute to the community and make friends for life. Many former cadets credit their participation in the program with giving them a head start toward their successful careers.

Cadets are young people who take part in activities at Squadrons within their local community. These activities are designed to help them to become more self-confident, to develop their leadership skills, to improve their physical fitness and communication skills, and to teach self-discipline through challenging training.

Cadets usually meet once a week and some weekends throughout the school year. A cadet must participate regularly in the activities to remain in good standing at the squadron.

Education is very important to Cadets. Cadet training is a hands-on, activity-based program that should complement school studies. As well, there are several scholarships available through Cadets.

The self-discipline that the cadets learn helps them organize their schoolwork and to develop good study habits.
