About 514 Kinsmen RCACS
We are a non-profit youth organization funded by the Department of National Defence and by our community sponsor, the Kinsmen Club of St. John’s. For over 75 years we have served the youth in our community by offering free, accessible training in such important areas as leadership, music, public speaking, marksmanship, physical activity and, of course, aviation.
Regular Training is conducted at CFS St. John's (115 The Boulevard) on Mondays from 1830-2115 hours (6:30pm-9:15pm), unless otherwise stated for specific dates below.
Registration is free and always open!
Sunday Training, 18 Oct 2026
This supplemental training provides cadets the opportunity to gain specialized skills in a team environment.
Note that for marksmanship, cadets must have completed their rifle safety handling training and evaluation. New Recruits are not yet eligible to participate on the range.

Fundraising meeting for parents/guardians, Monday 19 Oct 2026
We are inviting parents to attend a fundraising information session while cadets attend regular training. This is optional to those who want to get involved and learn more!
Our civilian sponsor, the KinClub of St. John's, is kick-starting a new fundraising initiative. Primarily, we will be selling tickets with the goal of raising funds that can be used for Cadet benefits not provided by the national program (including Squadron hoodies!)
