NO TRAINING TONIGHT, 16 OCT 18. OPTIONAL TRAINING ONLY ON 18 OCT 18.
For almost 29 years, 140 Aurora Squadron has been home to several hundred cadets, from across York Region. Involvement in Air Cadets provides youth aged 12 - 19 with opportunities to pursue interests in aeronautics; develop leadership abilities; demonstrate citizenship, promote physical fitness and stimulate an interest in the Canadian Armed Forces.
The Squadron's alumni have gone on to careers in aviation, business and the military.
This hard-working organization is a prime example of an organization that considers community involvement and betterment an important part of its mission, while exemplifying its motto:
Through Excellence to the Stars
