PARENT SUPPORT COMMITTEE

 

The Parent Support Committee (PSC) has a close relationship with the Commanding Officer.

 

The CO is responsible for the development and implementation of the training program which consists of mandatory and optional elements. The DND sets the mandatory elements and provides the CO and staff with the necessary personnel, equipment and financial resources for that part of the program.

 

The Parent Support Committee is responsible for providing volunteers, equipment and financial resources to conduct the optional elements. Our PSC is very active and involved in providing the officers with the support they need to continue making the program fun, energetic and challenging. We are dependent on parent assistance and participation to achieve these goals.

 

The Cadets, Officers and staff are truelly grateful for the many efforts of the PSC and parents.

Your Cadet Corps would not exist without their support and assistance. Many thanks.
