SPONSORING COMMITTEE

Sponsoring committees are community-level organizations that coordinate local support for the Cadets. Their makeup varies but usually includes interested parents, aged out cadets, military personel, or community members. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets refer to this group as the Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC). All SSC members are volunteers.

The Sponsoring Committee is a legal entity, with charity status, and operates under the authority of the Air Cadet League, Ontario Provincial Committee (OPC).

Sponsoring committees are responsible for: providing suitable accommodation for cadet training and activities, promoting the Cadet Program to the community, managing all squadron funds, and fundraising for additional activities not supported financially by the Canadian Forces
