Welcome to 818 Toronto Falcon Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron!
Message from the Commanding Officer:
Parents and Cadets of 818 RCACS - I am so excited to announce the return of regular parades, events and activities to the Cadet Organization for the 2022/2023 Training Year. Building upon last year’s re-established foundation, this year we aim to blend skilled training with more hands-on dynamic lectures to mold our cadets to be smarter, more confident critical thinkers. This year, we plan to do more to get cadets involved and active in their training and development by bringing cadets out of the classroom environment, and into more visual and kinaesthetic experiences.
We look forward to welcoming you back on September 12th.
Please refer to the Events pages for information about upcoming training.
Cadets - please ensure you check your Cadet365 accounts as we have moved away from using personal emails for all communications. There will be more information rolling out for MS Teams at a later time; be sure to check Cadet365 for updates.

Update re: Flag Party/ Drill practices and Marksmanship, there is a change to the day of the week for this activity. Instead of Wednesdays it will now be held on Thursdays.

Please arrive in appropriate civilian attire. Bring snacks, water bottle, and health card (!).
Please check Events page for 17 Oct's activity and dress of day.
