What 107 Cadets Do
Cadets of 107 Spitfire Squadron participate in weekly training every Thursday from September to May. During this weekly training the cadets learn about a variety of subjects including leadership, citizenship, drill, aircrew survival, and of course aviation. Most Thursday nights cadets are in uniform, however some nights cadets participate out of uniform in sports, swimming, or other activities. The program is free to join and the uniform is provided free of charge.
Cadets in Saskatoon attend the largest indoor Remembrance Day Ceremony in Canada each year. Throughout the year different training days are scheduled to provide opportunities to learn outdoor skills, aviation knowledge, physical fitness, familiarization flying, marksmanship, and more! As well, cadets attend two full weekends, one in the winter and one in the spring, for Field Training Exercises where the cadets learn about aircrew survival techniques.
We also have a number of optional activities the cadets can attend. These include Marksmanship, Biathlon, Band, Flag Party, and Recreational Sports. Cadets participate in various fundraising activities throughout the year to provide extra opportunities not paid for as part of the regular program.

As cadets progress through the training program they are promoted to show that they have excelled in the program and met specific objectives. Cadets progress with their same age peers through the program while being mentored by those who have already been through the same program as them.
Cadets from 107 Spitfire Squadron also have to opportunity to attend a number of regional and national activities including summer training. Summer training courses range from two to six weeks in length and cadets receive additional specific training on certain subjects. Summer training takes place across Canada and cadets that are selected are transported free of cost to them. The cadets also receive a weekly amount of money as a training bonus for for each week they attend summer training. Two important summer training opportunities for the Air Cadet program are the Glider Pilot Scholarship and the Power Pilot Scholarship, where chosen cadets can earn their Transport Canada Glider Pilot Licence or Private Pilot Licence free of charge.
