525 Pathfinder Squadron
525 Squadron was formed in November of 1950, under the command of Flying Officer Bob McDonald. The Squadron rose to 70 members by 1955, and paraded at the Ambleside Headquarters Army huts, part of a W.W.II station supporting artillery defence of the Georgia Strait. At that time, regular parades were held on Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm. The minimum age was 14 and girls were not allowed.
Zany Zip Lining- Grouse Mountain
Cadets go Zip lining at Grouse Mountain. Cadets also get to go on weekend activities such as camping, hiking, and first aid courses. Learn valuable survival skills and challenge yourself with leadership activities throughout the year.
Remembrance Day
Every year, the cadets of the 525 Pathfinder Squadron march in the Remembrance Day parade and help lay wreaths at the Cenotaph. Participating in this ceremony is an important part of remembering the sacrifice of current and past members of our Armed Forces.
Flying & Gliding
Air cadets get to go gliding and flying on weekends throughout the year. Cadets even have the opportunity to get their glider pilots and private pilots licenses. If you have a love of flying or have always wanted to become a pilot, 525 Squadron is a great place to start.
