WEST Vancouver’s 525
Pathfinder Squadron
started its new year
with increased mem-
bership.

Space was a litle tight as
the air cadets of the West
Vancouver squadron paraded
during their recent wings
parade.

The squadron is enjoving
its largest. membership in
recent years.

The registration of 39
cadets means that there are
now two flights within the
squadron,

It was a special evening for
Squadron Commander Kevin
Wong as) he received his
wings, courtesy of a cadet
glider scholarship.

Also receiving a promotion
to warrant officer, he and the
squadron's commanding offi-
cer, Captain Rick Nicholson
accompanied Area Cadet
Advisor WO) Bruce Koronko
as he inspected the ranks.

Those included newly pro-
moted LACs (Leading Air
Cadet) and corporals, as well
as a number of new recruits.

Cadets have a number of

opportunities available to
them through the program
which is overseen) by the
Royal Canadian Air Cadet

league.

The programs include
wilderness survival, rifle
shooting, sports, power flying
and gliding.

Numerous scholarships are
awarded to cadets, the most
lucrative being those that
result in a private pilot's
licence.

Every summer a large
number of cadets attend vari-
ous camps courtesy of the
cadet program.

Leadership is a major
focus, with all details of the
program being carried out by
the cadets themselves, over-
scen by qualified officers and
instructors and supported by a
parents’ committee.

Some cadets go on to the
armed forces, but the majority
use what they have learned in
the cadet program to enhance
their private careers and ambi-
tions.

Young men and women
berwcen the ages of 12 and 18
who would like more intor-
mation about the program
can contact Caprain Rick
Nicholson at 929-1318, or

The squadron meets
Tuesday nights at
Collingwood school.
