The Air Cadet League has been in operation since 9 April 1941. We are a proud non-profit whose aim is to instill leadership and honourable values in our Canadian youth in order to inspire them to be the change-makers of tomorrow. Through the help of sponsors, donors, volunteers and in partnership with the Canadian Armed Forces, the Air Cadet League provides fun and innovative ways for youth to make a difference in their community all while learning about aviation in the process. Youth learn presentation skills through our National Effective Speaking Program and can get involved in our Triple AAA Career Fairs where we aim to bridge industry partners to young job seekers. Our youth come out feeling stronger than ever and are armed with skillsets that will last them a lifetime. Having unique access to scholarships and bursaries that encourage them to reach for the skies is what we are here to do.

Our teams are committed to helping youth navigate the most formidable years in their lives while having fun in the process. Learn more about what we do and what we can offer you with this unique youth experience!

Consider joining a unique program where passion meets fun! Young Canadians ages 12 to 18 can participate as an Air Cadet in the Cadet Program. This non-profit program, delivered in partnership with the Canadian Armed Forces, allows youth to thrive and experience valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and global citizenship. The Air Cadets make up 51% of the Cadet Program and there are over 450 squadrons nationwide – chances are there is a squadron near you!
