A powerful day of learning and reflection. 🧡

For Truth and Reconciliation Day, Ms. Paradis taught us, 205 Collishaw cadets, the beats and significance of the Indigenous drum. We are truly grateful for the meaningful experience as we reflect on the past and march toward a more inclusive future.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” - Winston Churchill

Tonight marked a meaningful dual milestone. We gathered to remember the Battle of Britain, reflecting on the legendary bravery of the pilots who held the line.

In that same spirit, we opened a new chapter with the first training night for 205 Collishaw.

To the history that guides us, and the next generation stepping up to carry the torch, we remember, and we build. 🇨🇦✈️

Family Fun Night of 2026!

On Thursday, June 11th, 2026, our cadets brought their families and friends to our annual Family Fun Night celebration, which takes place at the end of our cadet training year. This year, our cadets took a break from their cadet responsibilities and simply had fun, whether it was on the giant inflatable waterslide or the water gun fights.

Passing the torch at 205!

After 4 exceptional years as our Commanding Officer, Captain Ruel is passing the leadership on. Capt Ruel’s incredible 11-year legacy with 205 started in September 2015 as a squadron parent, moving to the SSC as Vice-Chair, then Chair in 2016, before being attested as an officer on Dec 8, 2016. This December marks his 10th anniversary as an officer! Thank you for your leadership, Sir!

We are thrilled to welcome Captain Arthur as our incoming Commanding Officer! Capt Arthur is no stranger to the squadron. He actually started his aviation journey right here as a 205 Air Cadet many years ago.

Welcome back home, Capt Arthur, and thank you, Capt Ruel!
