Duke of Edinburgh Award

The Duke of Edinburgh Award in Canada has been selected as an optional subject by a number of Squadrons. Involvement at the local level should be encouraged.

The program encourages young people to make the best use of their leisure time both actively and creatively, and provides opportunities for challenges to be met and awards to be earned. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is designed in such a way as not to burden the Air Cadet Squadron with another complete training syllabus. The Award fits almost completely into regular Squadron training, if that Squadron has a versatile training program.
