Thursday, September 7th, 2023 – New Recruit Registration & Returning Cadet Annual Validation

The staff and sponsoring committee hope you have had a great summer and are looking forward to starting our 2023/2024 training year at 521 RCACS.

This year’s registration for new cadets and annual validation for returning cadets will take place on:
-Thursday, September 7th, 2023
-7pm – 8:30pm
-St Mary’s Centre (gym) – 34110 Lougheed Highway

We ask that cadets bring their parent or guardian down to fill out the required forms, pay the annual registration fee ($200), make an appointment with Supply in order to replace any uniform parts, sign up for or get information regarding optional training for the year, and ask any questions about the upcoming year that you may have.

Cadets are able to be in civilian clothing for the registration, but we do recommend they try on all their uniform parts prior to attending so they know if they need to make an appointment with supply.

If your cadet will not be returning this year, we ask that the uniform is returned either on that Thursday or the following Monday and that you send a quick email to 521Air@cadets.gc.ca to let us know so we can update our records.

Looking forward to another amazing year!
-Captain Kathrens
