What does it cost?

There are very few costs to join and participate in the Air Cadet program. Cadet uniforms and nearly all cadet activities are provided at no additional cost to the cadets. Second+ year cadets may even be selected to attend 2, 4, and 7-week summer training courses at NO COST. In fact, cadets selected for summer training are paid a $60/week training bonus while at these summer camps! Senior cadets may also be selected for summer employment opportunities at Cadet Training Centers (CTCs).

​

Donations/Assessments can be made by cash, cheque or through e-transfer to Treasurer@909peregrine.ca. In order to keep the costs as low as possible there is an expectation of participation (by both cadets and parents volunteers) in fundraising activities.  

 

When to
Join

909 Peregrine Squadron is pleased to offer registration throughout our training year from September through to late May. 

 

If you are shy and want to join with the greatest number of youth, September and January are your best months to join, as we host recruitment and open house nights at the beginning of those months and plenty of equally shy and new cadets will be joining with you. 

 

We parade weekly on Thursday nights from 6:30pm-9:30pm; we welcome visitors on almost all parade nights; however we ask that those wishing to visit please contact us via the site contact form(link) to let us know first. â€‹

Cadet Personnel Records are kept until the date at which the cadet reaches the age of twenty-five. The files may only be destroyed at that time in accordance with the Defence Administrative Orders and Directives (DAOD) on the Management of Recorded Information and the Treasury Board Policy on the Management of Government Information.
