Fort William Air Cadet Squadron was a student club at Lakehead Technical Institute.[1]

1952, Year Book

A group of six cadets from this squadron participated in glider training five years prior.[1]

  • Gliding At The Lakehead: The author recounts training with a Kirby Cadet glider at the local airport five years ago under instructor W. P. Stevens. The program involved ground instruction and truck-towed flights before cadets were allowed to fly solo up to a thousand feet, though operations eventually ceased due to new government regulations.[1]
