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:

• Purdy’s Chocolates

• Bacon/meat sales

• Cash calendars

• Apple sales

• Bottle return

• Direct donations

• and more!

Purdy's chocolates just in time for Christmas! One of our most popular fundraisers! Each year our cadets help raise funds through our Purdys fundraiser by reaching out to family, friends, and neighbours for all of their chocolate needs. Our squadron receives 25% percent of the proceeds.

If you’d like to support us by purchasing some very sweet Christmas gifts for friends, family and yourself watch for the link to order.

The Alberta Provincial Committee Air Cadet League of Canada sells cash calendars annually which benefits both the squadron and the league. Each cadet will receive a 3 calendars to sell to Alberta Residents 18 years and older. 952 Westjet receives a up to 75% of the proceeds from these sales to put toward squadron activities and equipment. Also, if we sell all our calendars our squadron will be entered into a draw for a prize! More information will be posted once the fundraiser has kicked off for 2022.

Year round at the Bowness Bottle Depot (4627, 16th Avenue NW) you can donate your bottle return money directly to 952 “WestJet”! All you have to do is tell them that you want to donate the money to 952 “WestJet” RCACS bottle drive c/o Michael Mullane.

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.
