The Canadian Air Cadet gliding program has consistently allowed over 200 cadets a year to gain a full Canadian Glider Pilot license during a 6 week summer camp. For the rest of the year glider experience flights are flown on weekends, many by licensed cadet pilots.
Obviously everything is on hold right now, but a robust gliding program with cadets flying solo is not rocket science, it just needs leadership that supports putting the air in Air Cadets.
