Attention Level 3 and Level 4 Cadets

The refresher session for the Level 3 and 4 Aviation Subject Tests organised in conjunction with 87 Eagle Squadron Welland and scheduled for Saturday May 1st, 2021, has been cancelled.

We will put every effort to organize our own inhouse refreshers in the coming weeks, in case we will not be able to re-schedule a session with other squadrons.  Details to follow.

Mandatory Lottery Event

809 families, each year the squadron is given an allotment of lottery tickets to sell to support both the squadron and the Ontario Provincial Committee (OPC).  The OPC is the organization that runs/supports elements like flying/gliding, effective speaking competitions, and many more.  Due to COVID they were unable to deliver this lottery via paper tickets but have arranged to run the lottery online.  Instead of being responsible for 2 books of tickets per cadet, we are required to sell only 3 tickets per cadet this year…we can certainly sell more.  Please click the link on our website and participate in this year’s lottery…no physical prizes this year ALL CASH!!  Thank you for your support!
