The Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC) works in partnership with squadron staff to ensure the viability of the unit. Their support is intended to compliment the resources available from the Canadian Forces. The responsibility for the sponsoring committee falls to the Air Cadet League as their Supervisory Sponsor.
The Squadron is supported through various forms of voluntary personal involvement, financial contributions, the provision of extra activities for the cadets, and other material assistance.
The Sponsoring Committee is often described as the “backbone of the Air Cadet Movement”, because one of the real secrets to the success of an Air Cadet Squadron is a well organized and effective Sponsoring Committee.
