Fundraising Bond Program

The Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC) is committed to providing our cadets with a more comprehensive program that remains cost-free and accessible to all families

Cadet Program Costs

The Air Cadet Program is partially funded by the Government of Canada through the Department of National Defence. Parents and guardians must fundraise to pay for the unfunded costs of the program.

While there are no direct membership or registration fees to join 810 Squadron, numerous essential costs are not covered by the Canadian Armed Forces. These include:

Facility rentals
Cadet League fees
Training materials and program supplies
Operating costs
Transportation

The annual operating cost of 810 Squadron is approximately $100,000.

To maintain a high-quality, cost-free program accessible to all families, we rely heavily on the volunteer efforts and financial support of cadet families.
