Cadet Community Involvement

140 Aurora Squadron Air Cadets participate in a variety of community events. Every year they march in Aurora parades, and take part in the Cadets Caring for Canada event - which includes both the cleaning of Highway 404 and the Yellow Fish Road Campaign. The purpose of the Yellow Fish Road Campaign is to educate residents of the Town of Aurora about water pollution and the impact it has on the health of the local waterbody.

This year they assisted with the Terry Fox Run, the Bob Harwell Challenge, the Magna Hoedown and the Aurora Civic Appreciation Awards night. Cadets also helped out with the Candlelight Vigil at the Aurora Cemetery.

Community Parades

The Squadron participated in several community parades recently - the Aurora Remembrance Day Parade, and the Aurora Santa Claus Parade. The squadron also presented a Memorial Wreath at the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph on Yonge Street in Aurora.

Character Community

The 140 Aurora Squadron Air Cadets recognize and promote the importance of good character. As part of the Character Community iniative, they are encouraged to treat others as they would like to be treated, show respect, are accountable, fair, honest and courageous, have empathy, persevere, show initiative and act with integrity.

In 2005, 140 squadron was the first youth group to sign on to the York Region Character Community initiative. Each month a character attribute is highlighted.
