Fundraising Information
Founded in 2012, 952 ‘WestJet’ Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron (RCACS) joined the ranks of some of the oldest Air Cadet Squadrons across Canada.
Cadet programs are the largest federally sponsored youth programs in Canada enabling youth to participate in the program free of charge.
However, this is only partial funding, as each squadron is responsible for raising additional funds to provide the best possible opportunities and additional experiences.
Experiences include marksmanship, skills development, leadership, effective speaking, familiarization flights, gliding, field training exercises, field trips and more.
Coordinated by our amazing Squadron Sponsoring Committee comprised of parent volunteers, fundraising activities can include:
50/50 draws
Bottle drives
Direct donations
and more!
50/50 Draws
Fall & Spring
952’s Squadron Sponsoring Committee is pleased to offer a 50/50 draw, whereby the lucky lottery winner wins half of total sales!
Another percentage goes to the Alberta Provincial Committee of the Air Cadet League of Canada, while the remaining goes to 952’s bank account to pay for squadron activities.
Bottle Drives
YEAR ROUND
In addition to squadron bottle drives (at the RockPointe Church, check Google Calendar for dates), all year round you can donate your bottle return money directly to 952 ‘WestJet’ at the Cochrane Bottle Depot. Simply tell the staff that you want to donate the money to 952 ‘WestJet’ Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron bottle drive.
Direct Donations
ONGOING
Finally, although we are not a registered charity we can accept donations. Cheques can be made out to the Air Cadet League of Canada requesting that the donation be directed to 952 ‘WestJet’ RCACS.
If you are interested in helping with any of the above fundraisers or would like to be part of the fundraising & events committee, please contact the SSC Fundraising Committee Chair at 952fundraising@apcacl.ca
