SQUADRON HISTORY:
819 Skyhawk in North Delta was formed on March 15, 1972.
819 Skyhawk Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron (RCACS) serves the Delta area as one of British Columbia’s best Air Cadet Squadrons. With close to 130 cadets, 9 Canadian Forces officers, and a strong parent Sponsoring Committee, the squadron offers youth aged 12 to 18 an extremely interactive and beneficial training program centered on aviation, leadership, survival training, range, drill and citizenship.
On its inception in 1972, 819 Squadron was officially known as the 819 North Delta Lions Squadron. The Squadron motto of “Ad Altior Tendo” was adopted from the Melville family of Edinburgh, which means “to strive for higher”. In 1977 the Air Cadet League of Canada authorized a change of sponsorship from the North Delta Lions club to that of an Independent Sponsor, and we became officially known as the 819 North Delta Skyhawk Squadron.
