About Us
Welcome to 755 Parkland Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron.
The Canadian Cadet Organization is a national program for Canadian youth aged 12-18. The aims of the program are promoting leadership, physical fitness, encourage community service and stimulate an interest in the Canadian Armed Forces. This program helps to prepare Canadian youth to become leaders within their communities. They develop a sense of responsibility, accountability and acquire leadership skills along with a positive work ethic that will help them throughout their futures. The cadets are engaged in community events to support local projects and developments throughout the year, providing them the tools to develop into a well-rounded, respectable member of society.
Our squadron offers a variety of programming as listed below.
We want to thank our sponsors and volunteers. The success of our program would not be possible without you!
Biathlon
The Biathlon team competes in zone competitions where they combine running 3kms and shooting in a 10M range with Air Rifles. Anyone who advances to Provincial Competition will then combine cross county skiing with shooting in a 30M range with .22 caliber rifles.
Community Service
An important component of Cadets is to be active in supporting the community. Our squadron has been able help with community clean-ups, toy drives, poppy sales, Remembrance Day Ceremonies, and Legion Events.
Drill
Left, Left, Left, Right, Left!! Drill is a important part of training. Every member needs to work together to move in unison through complex patterns. Cadets learn basic drill commands on parade nights but can also push themselves to excel in the more structured Drill Team.
Effective Speaking
Learn how to organize and present ideas, information and opinions in a clear manner. You train along side your fellow cadets and then work individually on creating a strong speech to present. This is a great way to build confidence!
Marksmanship
The cadets program teaches youth about proper use and safe handling of firearms. The concept of high accuracy helps to push our teams to always improve themselves and help each other through range days and competitions.
Military and Pipe Band
Our squadron has both a military and pipe band. Cadets have the option to learn from a variety of instruments including Bag pipes, Drums, Brass, and Wind. Any music level is welcome!
Survival Training
Work as a team and learn how to build shelters, snares, ground to air signals, first aid and much more.
