The Squadron Sponsoring Committee is the backbone of the Air Cadet League. Each year, SSCs in Ontario raise millions of dollars and devote thousands of hours to house and support our Squadrons. These awards recognize the year’s premier Squadron Sponsoring Committee in each of the OPC areas, as well as the SSC judged to be top overall. Directors and CIC Officers may offer nominations to their Area Vice-Chair, upon whose recommendations the Honours Committee principally relies.
