Training & Orders

Weekly Training

Local Headquarters Training or LHQ Training  is the main Wednesday evening activity. All cadets attend classes on General Cadet Knowledge, Drill, Citizenship, Physical Fitness, and Air Crew Survival. Cadets also take other courses specific to their rank and training level. The three course periods are started with first parade, separated by a break, and finished with the final parade. Cadet training is provided by Officers and Civilian Instructors who are volunteers, and Senior Cadets.

Attendance: Cadet attendance on training nights is very important. It is necessary to be eligible for the various camps offered. Cadets are also encouraged to participate in special activities such as Remembrance Day Parade and other community events.

Instructors – please place your lesson plans in the area linked below at least 2 Wednesdays prior to the class you are instructing including the outline for or picture of your learning aids:
