À propos de l'événement
The Canadian Cadet Program is the largest federally sponsored youth program in Canada and is funded by the Department of National Defense in conjunction with the Cadet League of Canada, a civilian organization. In 26 years, the Saint-Jean gliding school has introduced around 1,500 young people from the region to the basics of flight free of charge. Note that three Canadian astronauts are from the cadet program.
But there is more, cadets are encouraged to become active and responsible members of their community. Every day, they make a remarkable contribution to our society in terms of the environment, citizenship and community activities.
