In the last weekend of October, 24 air cadets from Trail travelled to Vernon for a weekend of challenging activities. In Vernon they joined 200 other sea, army, and air cadets from the East and West Kootenays and the Thompson areas of the interior of BC.
Over the weekend the cadets did advanced leadership training, marksmanship, completed a confidence course, abseiled, and toured a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter from RCAF 442 Transport & Rescue Squadron in Comox.
Trail’s air cadet squadron meets every Wednesday evening in Kemball Armoury at 1900 7th Ave from 6 to 8:30 pm. There are also activities on select weekends throughout the year.

Adults who would like to volunteer with the squadron are also welcome.
