Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC)
The Canadian Cadet Movement (CCM) delivers the Air Cadet Program through a partnership between the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Air Cadet League of Canada.
The 777 Neptune Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC) is a wholly parent volunteer group that supports the Officers assigned to the 777 Neptune Squadron. The SSC volunteers coordinate and fundraise to the direct benefit of the squadron, and with knowledge and/or direction from the Commanding Officer. All volunteers are required to complete a security check and provide character references as part of the application process. If you would like to find out more about the SSC and/or are interested in volunteer opportunities, please contact us at [email protected] .
Explanation of Registration Fees:
While there is no cost to the Cadet for their uniforms or to participate in the core elements of the Air Cadet Program, the 777 Neptune Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC) charges an annual assessment to assist with the cost of optional training and equipment not covered by DND including, but not limited to, facility rentals for activities outside of Parade (practice & training) nights, website expenses, familiarization flying costs, certain other extra-curricular activities for team building, band instruments, insurance, volunteer screening, award trophies and plaques and cadet dinners as well as the annual BCPC Assessment.
The 777 Neptune Squadron Cadet Assessment for the 2025/2026 training year is set at a rate of $235.00. $125.00 of this assessment is applied to the BCPC Annual Assessment. The remaining amount supports all annual Squadron expenses not covered by the DND. A parent/guardian should accompany new and returning cadets to complete the registration process. Cadets registering without the stipulated assessment must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
