Michelle is a proud mother of a young air cadet. She spoke to us about the Air Cadet program. She talked about;
  1. The history of the air cadet program in Edmonton;
    1. Started by local businessmen in 1941
    2. Originally intended for ground training for young men
    3. Now thousands of participants across Canada of both genders;
  2. The program
    1. No costs to participants
    2. Excellent training, fellowship and leadership skills offered;
    3. Summer camps, team participation;
    4. Offers opportunities to participate in teamwork opportunities outside of sporting environment;
