 By 1940, Order-in-Council PC6647 authorized the creation of the Air Cadet Movement in Canada where the Junior (boys aged 12–14) and the Senior (boys aged 15–18) Cadet Corps began.During the early developmental stages of the League, a partnership with the Royal Canadian Air Force helped boost the success of the Air Cadet Movement in Canada as a result of the availability to flying scholarships and training centres.By April 9, 1941 the Secretary of State of Canada, by way of Letters Patent, granted an official Charter which established the Air Cadet League of Canada to operate as a non-profit corporation under Part II of the Companies Act 1937.
