Perseverance, Initiative, and Courage
Proudly Serving Penticton, BC, and Surrounding Area
Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC)
Become a 259 Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC) Member or a Screened Parent Volunteer!
​
SSC's are the local level of the Air Cadet League and are the primary sponsoring group for a squadron and responsible for raising funds to support the squadron’s training program, such as power familiarization flying, weekend exercises, band expenses, as well as rent, insurance, and operating costs. They work closely with the officers managing a squadron. Involvement with a Squadron SSC starts with simply becoming a screened volunteer, which enables you to help out at squadron events. Fundraising activities at local squadrons enable lots of fun optional activities, so we strongly encourage every cadet and their parent to participate in fundraising activities organized by their SSC.
When we Meet:​
The SSC meets for a monthly board meeting the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm at LHQ 1498 Government St, Penticton, BC.
An AGM is held each fall (Usually the First Tuesday in October) to elect board positions and directors. Every cadet that is registered at the time of the AGM equals one membership vote allotted to the family..
