Support Committee

The Army Cadet League of Ontario is represented in every corps by the Support Committee. This group is the backbone of any Army Cadet Corps and without their efforts, things would come to a screeching halt.

Working in the background the Support Committee is responsible for raising funds to cover the extra costs that the Corps may incur. These costs can include team equipment, band instruction fees, banquets, trips, and ceremonial uniform parts. They coordinate and run tag days, dinners, trips and many other events that enhance the Cambridge Cadet program. On average, the Support Committee raises almost $50,000 that is not covered by the Department of National Defense.

The committee is open to community members who want to become involved. We have parents or guardians of cadets as well as adults without cadet children who enjoy working with the league to provide added opportunities for the young men and women in the program. For parents, it is a great way to get a chance to ask questions, get to know other cadets’ parents and keep up to date with your cadet’s activities. Like the cadets, parents make long time friendships as well.

At least one member of the Support Committee is at parade every week, and they attend most other events in which cadets participate as well.
