534 Raider Squadron - Royal Canadian Air Cadets, Peterborough, ON

Air Cadets is a nationally funded program for youth ages 12-18. We meet every week to parade, practice drill, and learn everything from how to fly to how to survive in the woods. On weekends we take part in various activities in the area -- parades, camping trips, gliding days, and much more. There is no initial cost to joining. Through a combination of fundraising and funding provided to us by the Department of National Defence, the cadet program is one of the only programs in Canada for young people that costs nothing at all! The uniform, your training, your weekend activities, and even summer camps are covered. We only ask that you help the squadron in fundraising whenever you can. There are 3 major fundraising activities each year which are mandatory - these are our annual lottery ticket sales drive, and participation in two tag days (fundraising in the community).
