The St. Albert (Host) Lions Club has been the official sponsor of 533 St. Albert RCACS for over 60 years.
The role of the sponsor is to oversee the local operation of the Air Cadet Squadron. This includes the provision of suitable quarters for training, administration, and supply, assisting in the recruiting of suitable staff (both military and civilian), arranging recreational programs, representing the squadron at Air Cadet League functions, providing for the financial needs of the Squadron, and a variety of other items. The sponsor has delegated many of these activities to a Sponsoring Committee.
