Core values of the cadet movement are loyalty, professionalism, mutual respect and integrity. Cadets are not members of the Canadian Forces, nor is their any expectation of a future military career.
When the Air Cadet League of Canada was chartered on April 9, 1941, the original mandate of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets was to supply a pre-trained pool of airmen to aid Canada's efforts in World War II.
Canada, the majority of recreational pilots licenses (such as those for glider pilots) are given out through the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.
Although the vast majority of cadets do not go on to join the Armed Forces, a significant percentage join both the regular forces and the reserves, making the $160 million a worthwhile investment for a country where military service is not often seen as a viable career.
