1 April 2024 marked 100 years of service for the Royal Canadian Air Force as an independent military element. This Centennial milestone placed the RCAF in a unique position to celebrate with Canadians, fuel internal and external support and pride in the organization, and leave an enduring legacy that propels the institution forward into its next century of service.

The 100th anniversary of the RCAF was an extraordinary opportunity to reflect upon our global contributions to national security, international peace and stability. With this in mind, the RCAF curated a national campaign that honoured and celebrated our history and heritage, while inspiring future generations of Canadians.

The Royal Canadian Air Force Centennial Fund was established to provide support to RCAF families. In addition to celebrating our rich history and heritage, the RCAF Centennial engaged Canada’s youth in pursuing careers in aviation, space and STEM. In collaboration with various community partners, significant efforts were undertaken to showcase our history and heritage while enriching the lives of current and aspiring aviators and their families.

You too can support The Centennial Fund with a one-time or recurring donation. All eligible donations will receive a charitable tax receipt.
