In Fall 2023 and Winter 2024 – we exceeded our allowance for cadets whom wished to join Air Cadets, and had to halt further intake or recruits.

Our next intake of cadets will be announced in August 2023 for Fall 2024.

If you are still interested in joining cadets – we encourage you to reach out to our sister units nearby – 21 RC Army Cadets ( Cambridge), 94 Sea Cadets ( Kitchener)
