Sponsoring Committee
103 Squadron is jointly funded by the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Air Cadet League of Canada.
The Air Cadet League of Canada provides funding and support for certain activities undertaken by the squadron. It is represented at the squadron level by a local Sponsoring Committee, which is made up of volunteers who are often parents of cadets. All parents automatically become members of the Sponsoring Committee and are expected to contribute time throughout the year in support of the squadron. Responsibilities include fundraising, public relations, operation of the canteen, special events, and most importantly, the provision of transportation whenever cadets participate in activities away from the squadron headquarters (i.e. flying, gliding, competitions, survival exercises, parades, etc.). The Sponsoring Committee is managed by an elected executive comprising of the following:
