Captain Wright Eruebi has completed 17 years of service with the Canadian Armed Forces. He retired as a Public Affairs Officer in 2018. 

​

Captain Eruebi served in all three elements of the Canadian Armed Forces: Six years in the Navy, four in the Army, and seven with the Royal Canadian Air Force. 

​

As a retirement farewell to the Canadian Armed Forces, and in the spirit of giving back to Canada, Captain Eruebi embarked on a 200-kilometer Road March from Brandon, Manitoba to Winnipeg; to raise money and awareness for Military Family Resource Centers across Canada. The effort resulted in thousands of dollars which was dedicated to families, spouses and partners of military personnel across Canada. Captain Eruebi believes that these special Canadians are the real strength behind the uniform. 

​

Captain Eruebi joined the Red River 220 Squadron as a Unit Public Affairs Representative in 2019. He says of his service with cadets: “What privilege. What opportunity. What honour.” 

Capt Ferens joined Air Cadets at the age of 12 where he took every opportunity the program offered; traveling across the country for summer training and regionally-directed activities.  He aged out at the rank of WO2 and - wanting to give back to the program - he moved to 170 Air Cadet Squadron where he became a Civilian Instructor (CI). 

​

After a few years Capt Ferens was enrolled in the CAF in Feb 2012 and took courses so he could take on positions with the Sqn wherever he was needed.  As a Range Safety Officer (RSO), he got involved with marksmanship and biathlon, eventually taking the couching courses for both programs allowing him to coach cadets who competed at the National levels. 

​

After being trained as Administration Officer (AdmO) and spending a few years in that role, Capt Ferens started taking more training-related courses and moved into the role of level training officer.  Every few years, Capt Ferens would take on management of a different training level, along with his secondary task of managing music training. 

​

As a former 220 RCACS Cadet who aged out as Warrant Officer 1st Class on his 19th Birthday, Lt Torch has worked in fundraising for multiple years, as well as with private organizations, including serving in a high-level management position in a local business.

​

Lt Torch brings to the Squadron, his positive leadership skills, drive for building a strong team dynamic, technology acumen, and passion for the Cadet Program. His personal goal is to empower the senior Cadets to be the best leaders they can be, and increase the excitement for what he truly believes to be the best youth program in Canada.

Lt Torch continues his pursuit of his BSc (Computer Science) so he can enroll in the Faculty of Education at the University of Manitoba. In Kelan's personal life, he spends his time with his fiancé, his dog Kaya, and his cat Ayla, or with friends. 

OCdt Gregg Beaulieu is a former 220 RCACS Cadet Parade Commander, who aged out of the program in 2007. Since then, he has been working in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry, and is currently an Event Coordinator at the RBC Convention Centre. 

OCdt Beaulieu credits much of his current accomplishments back to his time with 220 Sqn, gaining skills and experiences over the years. His goal is to empower and energize the cadets and help them realize their true, full potential. He brings with him his skills in customer service, event planning, leadership and enthusiasm and hopes to help shape the leaders of tomorrow. 

OCdt Beaulieu is very dedicated to his career, but when he does have free time, he enjoys spending it with family and friends, or simply enjoying a good movie/TV show. 

Mr. Darren Kyryliuk, has a prior history with the R.C.A.C. as former Air Cadet retiring from #6 Jim Whitecross Sqn. in 1988.
 

Following his departure from the Cadet Program, he joined the C.A.F. Serving at first in 402 Sqn in Winnipeg, then migrating to 17 Field Ambulance as a Vehicle Technician/Driver and finally transferring to 17 Service Battalion continuing his trade as Vehicle Technician/Driver. Mr. Kyryliuk took leave to pursue the operation of his personal business and start his family. 

As his boys began to come of cadet age, he began volunteering at J.R.K. Millen N.L.C.C. #7. Serving, at first, as Board Member and then migrating to Midshipman. He continues to support the cadets in this Corps and providing guidance where possible. In both units, his beliefs are to continue to be engaging and encouraging to all cadets so they find their passion and to continue in the regular cadet program under the element of their choice.
