Cadets |
The aim of cadets throughout Canada is to teach leadership and citizenship as well as give a basic understanding of the Canadian Armed Forces and Reserves.

Become a cadet
Cadets recruit boys and girls from the ages of 12 to 18. The individuals involved are instructed in drill, fundamental training (the basics of military history and organisation), expedition and navigation training, marksmanship and small arms training, physical fitness, map and compass, leadership and citizenship. The cadet corps provides a well-rounded program designed to cover a four-year period.
To those interested in the program, the cost is nothing. Cadets are funded by the Department of National Defence, not only to provide our youth with valuable life skills but also to spark an interest in the Canadian Armed Forces.
