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:
 

Executive Committee
Committee Positions
Chairperson
Vice 
Treasurer
Directors

Mr. Michael Batten
Mr. Reid Whiting
Mr. Anthony Lyons
Ms. Catherine Hargreaves

Ms. Catherine Lawson
Mr. Ralph Stringer
Ms. Sandra McLeod

Special Events Coordinator

Ms. Sandra McLeod

​Mr. Reid Whiting


The Sponsoring Committee meets on the last Wednesday of every month at the squadron headquarters. For more information, please follow the links below:

One of the primary roles of the Sponsoring Committee is to secure support for the optional activities undertaken by the squadron which are not funded by the DND. To this end, we would like to thank the following contributors for their outstanding generosity!
