Arthur L. Meiling of the Air Cadet League announced that Canadian Air Cadets will soon parade with their own official flag, proclaimed by His Majesty the King. The measure signals formal recognition and modernization of cadet insignia and ceremonies.
The official Air Cadet Ensign received approval from the College of Arms in Britain and a painted sketch was returned bearing His Majesty's signature. Cadet squadrons may earn the ensign after three months of operation and will be presented one per unit by the Air Cadet League Headquarters. The light blue flag bears a Union Jack in the left corner and a gold albatross Air Cadet Crest on a dark blue circle, mirroring the RCAF insignia on the Air Force flag.
