Lieutenant Alyssia Dietrich
As a young girl growing up, Air Cadets provided me with a sense of honour and pride in the community in which I resided, ultimately developing me into the woman I am today; self-disciplined, professional and mature. Air Cadets offers a wide range of opportunities to assist with the development of good moral character in young adults through the building up of confident young leaders; it is a part of my past that I will always be proud to have taken part in.

Commander (Ret'd) Chris Hadfield, OC OOnt CD
People are the result of a lot of influences they see when they’re young, and that is why it’s so important now to show them all the opportunities that exist for them....The sky is not the limit. You are the result of your day-to-day decisions, and it’s amazing where those decisions can take you. What you do today turns you into who you are tomorrow.

Captain (Ret'd) Jesse Free
I joined Air Cadets because I wanted to be a fighter pilot. Shortly after joining, I learned of a new passion: Leading and Teaching. The experiences and challenges that were presented to me in Cadets prepared me for my career and taught me that with hard work and dedication, I'm capable of anything!
