8 GLOBEMASTER AIR CADETS

Established on November 1, 2012, 8 Globemaster Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron (RCACS) was founded in Richmond Hill with approximately 70 cadets. Since then, the squadron has grown to over 250 cadets and continues to provide a wide range of training and activities to youth in our community.

Our inaugural Commanding Officer was Major Wayne Westernacher-Schneider, followed by Major Ryan Schwarz, Major Paul Yu, and Captain Herman Li. The squadron is currently led by Captain Kevin Chung.

With the dedication of our Commanding Officers, staff, volunteers, and the support of our Squadron Sponsoring Committee (SSC), 8 Globemaster continues to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where cadets can develop leadership, citizenship, teamwork, discipline, confidence, and life skills.

Cadets have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities and training, including Band, Drill, Biathlon, Marksmanship, Glider Pilot Training, Power Pilot Training, Sports, Effective Speaking, Debate, Rocketry, Drone Training, First Aid, and Health & Wellness.

During the summer, eligible cadets may also participate in summer training at Cadet Training Centres across Canada. These opportunities allow cadets to develop new skills, take on new challenges, and meet other cadets from across the country.

At 8 Globemaster, we are committed to helping every cadet grow, develop their potential, become a responsible citizen, and build the skills needed to become a great leader.
