My glider club is seeing an influx of young people who want to get their GPL because sadly it looks like all glider flying for the Canadian Air Cadets has been cancelled right through next summer. A whole cohort of young people will miss their chance to get their GPL's through the excellent free Air Cadet program due to COVID-19
Even if things start to get back to normal in 2022 the program will have lost its momentum and critical staff may have drifted away. As well every aspect of the Cadet experience has been diminished by draconian COVID protocols that are already resulting in young people leaving due to the lack of interesting and engaging activities on offer. Lack of flying may be the least of the problems for every nations Air Cadet program....
