Why Support the 242 Ross Ferguson Squadron
All Air Cadet Squadrons are funded by DND (Department of National Defense), however, these funds do not cover the full breadth of programming offered. We deliver a safe environment for youth to gather and learn valuable life skills, along with opportunities to make lifelong friends and memories.
For the first time, our squadron is committed to delivering a free program for 2021-22.
To support this objective, we need community input, both in volunteers and funding. We are planning some great fundraising opportunities this year, which you can find outlined below.

WITH SINCERE THANKS FROM 242 RCACS CADETS
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR SPONSOR
ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION BRANCH 442
FOR THEIR GENEROUS DONATION OF $4,400.64
Legion Poppy Campaign
​
442 Royal Canadian Legion is the official squadron sponsor for 242 Ross Ferguson RCACS. RCL Branch 442 donates a portion of their Poppy Campaign to the 242 Ross Ferguson Air Cadets.
On Tuesday March 1, 2022, Poppy Fund Coordinator, Verna Bludd of the Erin Legion 442 presented the Erin Air Cadets with a cheque from last year’s Poppy Campaign. This annual donation helps offset Cadet Program expenses. The cadets will benefit from this generous donation as it will help fund field trips, multi-unit sports competition weekends, shooting and biathlon teams, and their Annual Review in June. In 2022 the unit received $4,931.26 through the Legion's 2021 Poppy Fund.
