By the early 1970’s there was a push to include Female cadets as part of the official cadet program.  Mrs Muffet McGowan who was part of the 89 Pacific Squadron Sponsoring Committee started the formal push with a November 20, 1970 letter to the Ministry of Defense.  The campaign continued through 5 years and 3 different Ministers of Defense until finally on July 30, 1975 Bill C-16 received Royal Assent and females were finally fully integrated into the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program.  With this change in law, 5 Squadron officially combined with 111 Squadron to create the fully integrated 111 Pegasus Squadron that exists today.
 
As we celebrate 80 years of providing training to Air Cadets in Canada this year we also celebrate our 77th year of affiliation with the Air Cadet League of Canada and we thank both the Air Cadet League and the Department of National Defense, through the Regional Cadet Support Unit, for their ongoing support and assistance to the excellent program we offer.  The Squadron along with the Air Cadet Program in general continues to develop and grow the leaders of tomorrow.
