Mission Commander

At the end of every year, new Mission Commanders are appointed by the previous mission commanders, with the approval of the Admiral of Spacesim. The appointee is chosen from a group of candidates who apply for the position because they feel that they can fill the highest student leadership position in Spacesim.

The mission commanders also double as "Club Co-presidents", this allows Spacesim to masquerade as a Lisgar Collegiate Institute club, as well as enjoying it's true nature as an Ottawa-Carleton District School Board Association. Unfortunately, we do not receive any funding from the Lisgar C.I. student's council. However, they do host our Office on the Science Floor.

In the 2004-05 year, three candidates applied for the position of Mission Commander. One, at the request of the Admiral stepped down in deference to the other two candidates' seniority. However, the Admiral still accorded some mission commander priviledges to the third candidate including a key to the Office. This has led to the first year with three mission commanders. A break from tradition, which may or may not continue next year.
