808 Coquitlam Squadron accepts applications for new cadets from September until January of each year. Since our programme runs very similarly to a regular school year, it is suggested that all new recruits join in September. Any application after January is generally deferred to the following year.

​

To join our programme, visit us at Maillard Middle School at 1300 Rochester Avenue in Coquitlam on any Tuesday night during the school year between 19:00 and 21:00. Upon your arrival, please report to the Office located on the bottom floor of the school. Our adult staff will be able to answer any questions you may have regarding our programme as well as help complete the paperwork required to join Air Cadets. Upon completion of your paperwork, you will have officially joined 808 Coquitlam Royal Canadian Air Cadets! To capture your registration information, please fill out either the Online Registration Tool below, or print and fill out a paper form to bring with you on your first visit. Alternatively, we would be happy to provide you all the necessary paperwork in person.

​

The following is a list of requirements you must meet to be eligible to join air cadets:

• be a legal resident of Canada (NOTE: A legal resident of Canada is a Canadian citizen, a landed immigrant, or, the dependant of a person who is lawfully resident in Canada on a temporary basis for the purpose of education or employment)
