742 National Capital Squadron is a registered charity dedicated to helping young people grow into confident leaders through the Royal Canadian Air Cadet program.
While many core cadet activities are supported nationally, local fundraising helps make the full Squadron experience possible. Donations from families, alumni, and community partners allow us to offer enhanced training opportunities, special activities and trips, essential equipment and supplies, and the memorable experiences that make the cadet program so impactful for our cadets.
Every contribution helps create life-changing opportunities for youth in our community.
