Squadron Sponsoring Committee
The Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC) represents the civilian side of the Air Cadet Program. They work alongside the Canadian Forces and the Air Cadet League of Canada to support the 250 Vimy Squadron and its Commanding Officer Maj Hargreaves.
The SSC is the local representative of the Air Cadet League of Canada. The 250 SSC is composed of interested parents (of current and former cadets) and other adult community members.
SSC membership is decided on a yearly basis through an election held in the fall for the training year.
The SSC works in partnership with the Squadron staff (Officers and Civilian Instructors) to support the local training program in order to achieve the three goals of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, which are to develop leadership and good citizens, to promote physical fitness, and to stimulate an interest in the Canadian Forces.
- Providing suitable facilities for cadet training and activities
- Promoting the Cadet Program to the community
- Fundraising and managing the squadron’s funds and bank account
- Ensuring that cadets are evaluated and treated fairly
- Providing input for major decisions and selections at the Squadron
The Current Committee Executive:
- Terri Murray - Chair
- Aaron O'Connor - Vice-Chair
- Heather Costley - Teasurer
