Page 30 - THE JOURNAL - WEEK OF JANUARY 20, 2011 Air Cadets—Building self-confidence and self-esteem By Bill Axtell For The Journal If you are a parent of a boy or girl ages 12 to 18 in Lethbridge, and who would like to see your child increase self-awareness, selfconfidence and self-esteem, then the Air Cadets program could be the perfect choice. Air Cadets provides these growth opportunities through weekly meetings at the Lethbridge Airport as well as through numerous exciting weekend and summer events; including the chance to fly in vari- ous types of aircraft, even gliders. The cadets have the opportunity to learn the rules and the skills of flying, often leading to a pilot’s license. According to Marc Ouellette, Vice President of the Air Cadets Parents Association, the Cadet program is the largest federallysponsored youth program in Canada that includes the Royal Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadets. “The national program gives young people fun, challenging and rewarding activities while they learn about the air activities of the Cana- dian Forces,” he said. “Any boy or girl can join at any Tuesday meeting,” Ouellette explained, as he encouraged families to consider joining the 57 other youth already meeting weekly from 6:45 pm to 9 pm. at the Vimy Ridge Armoury located at the Lethbridge Airport. Lethbridge Air Cadets, called the #11 RCACS, begins the new year with a number of events, including a formal military dinner held on Feb. 15 with nationally-known guest speaker Gordon Brown, a Korean veteran; a bowling event with potluck supper held last weekend, and a flying familiarization evening scheduled for January 29. Ouellette said a cadet exchange program will be held in late February, in which 42 Lethbridge cadets will travel to Edmonton from Feb. 20 to 26; then, from Feb. 21 to24, another 42 cadets will visit Lethbridge from Saskatchewan, and will visit such sites as Bomber Command Museum in Nanton, Military Museum in Calgary as well as a snowshoeing trip in Waterton Park. Drill competitions, similar to military parades are held frequently for training purposes. Cadets learn to march with rifles and flags. In the summer, Ouellette said, summer camps are held in which Air Cadets share the camp with Royal Canadian Sea and Army Cadets. The July Camps, held in Central Alberta, run from two weeks and longer, depending upon the level achieved by the cadet, providing unforgettable experiences designed to mold character and to develop strong inner values. The program trains youth to be fair and ethical leaders.
