Effective Program Support - The OPC exists for one purpose – to support the Air Cadet Program in Ontario. The Air Cadet League of Canada and the Ontario Provincial Committee and its Squadron Sponsoring Committees are first and foremost fund-raising organizations. The first agreements between ACL and DND solidified that role and it has been that way since 1941.

The operational and administrative side of the program, both at the SSC and ACL/OPC has become much more complicated than in the past. The regulatory framework within which Not for Profit (NFP) and charitable organizations operate is more complex than the average parent or other volunteer understands. Providing qualified financial and administrative support has three parts – hardware, software, and people. Investments in these three areas are being made to enhance the ability of the OPC to support and enable the success of our SSCs throughout Ontario.

Donations through Canada Helps further our strategic support initiatives and ultimately, improve the air cadet experience for more than 8,000 youth in 119 communities.
