Our Role
The Squadron Sponsoring Committee's main responsibilities are to: (1) publicize the aims of the squadron within the community, (2) provide suitable facilities for squadron administration and training, (3) organize and conduct fund-raising campaigns to ensure necessary funds are available, (4) manage funds raised, (5) organize and schedule optional activities (e.g., dances, Mess Dinner), (6) organize recruitment activities for new cadets, staff, and Sponsoring Committee members, and (7) ensure that cadets are treated fairly
The Department of National Defence only covers a portion of the operating costs of each Cadet unit in Canada. Much of the program funds are covered by the fundraising activities of the Squadron.
The Sponsoring Committee, under the authority of the Air Cadet League, are responsible for ensuring adequate finances are acquired to support the training program. The Sponsoring Committee is a non-profit organization, which has to pay $20 per cadet to the Air Cadet League each year in addition to providing funding for citizenship trips, the Mess Dinner, among other activities not covered by the Department of National Defence.
While 107 Squadron does not require a membership fee each year, to ensure Cadets of every financial group can participate we strongly encourage every cadet and their parent to participate in fundraising activities organized by the squadron's Sponsoring Committee.
We hold monthly meetings to discuss how to best accomplish our above duties. The minutes of past meetings can be found here. Please join us to discuss. The schedule of meetings can also be found on the minutes page.
