Jack Park, who devoted more than 40 years to the Royal Canadian Air Cadet movement in Saskatchewan, was posthumously inducted into the Saskatchewan Aviation Hall of Fame at a banquet held in Saskatoon recently.

Jack was nominated by Ted Philipchuk of the provincial committee of the Air Cadet League of Canada, Cec Davis of North Battleford and Norman McKeeman, a fellow aviator from Yorkton.

Jack, along with his brother Earl operated the family jewellery store in Yorkton, but his heart was always with the Air Cadet League and aviation in general.

Jack was Mr. Air Cadet in Yorkton and in the province. He served as director, provincial president, advisory chairman, advisory member and aviation chairman.

Jack instructed in the ground school for the cadets and worked with the aviation program. He was active in the gliding program of the league and as a glider pilot, flew the tow aircraft for many years.

During his life Jack received the Air Cadet League of Canada Certificate of Honor in recognition of his contribution to the Air Cadets.

After his death, the Saskatchewan Provincial Committee established the Jack Park Memorial Gliding Scholarship, which awards $200 annually to the top Saskatchewan cadet to graduate from the six week National Air Cadet Gliding School.

A Jack Park Memorial award is given to the most dedicated cadet in the Yorkton area by the Yorkton squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.

During the war Jack was commissioned as an instructor pilot. After the war he returned to the family jewellery business and became involved in the air cadet movement.
