Squadrons of The Cadet Wing
The undergraduate student body, known as the Cadet Wing, is sub-divided into three smaller groupings called Squadrons, under the guidance and supervision of senior cadets. The squadrons are currently named in honour of local communities. Squadrons are subdivided into flights and sections.
| Squadron # | Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Richelieu |
| 2 | Iberville |
| 3 | Tracy |
In the 1960s, the three squadrons were named Cartier, Maisonneuve and Champlain in honour of historical figures.
