Sharpening Survival Skills at Forest Guardian 🌲🧭

Cadets from 1626 RCACC recently took part in Forest Guardian, a field training exercise held in Stevensville, at the Stevensville Conservation Area, alongside cadets from Beamsville, Niagara Falls, and Fort Erie.

The weekend gave cadets the opportunity to strengthen their wilderness survival skills, develop confidence in the field, and practise teamwork with fellow cadets from across the Niagara region.

📡 Connecting Through History: Cadets Explore the World of Military Communications

Cadets of 1626 RCACC stepped back in time during an engaging military history evening focused on the evolution of military communications. Thanks to special guests from the 1st Canadian Signals Association, cadets explored more than a century of signalling equipment and techniques through interactive displays and hands-on learning.

As an affiliated unit of 31 Signal Regiment, it was especially meaningful for our cadets to gain a deeper appreciation of the vital role signallers play in the Canadian Armed Forces.

The evening concluded with cadets learning the fundamentals of Morse code, building new skills while connecting with an important part of Canada's military heritage.

🧡 Orange Shirt Day — September 30, 2026 🧡

September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. It is a time to honour residential school survivors, their families and communities, and remember the children who never returned home.

📖 We encourage everyone to take time to listen, learn, and reflect on the lasting impact of residential schools and the importance of reconciliation.

🧡 All cadets and members of the Canadian Armed Forces are authorized to wear an orange T-shirt under their uniform top in recognition of this day.

Every Child Matters.

Canadians at Juno: A Legacy of Courage

On June 6, 1944, more than 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed on Juno Beach as part of the Allied invasion of Normandy. Facing determined enemy resistance, they fought their way inland and achieved many of their objectives despite suffering significant casualties. The courage, sacrifice, and determination displayed by these Canadians helped secure a foothold in Europe and marked a crucial step toward the liberation of Western Europe. Today, we honour their service and remember those who gave their lives in the cause of freedom.

Spring Clean-up

Recently, cadets from 1626 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps took part in a spring clean-up at Branch 613 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Beamsville. Supporting community organizations through volunteer activities like this is an important part of the cadet experience and reflects the corps' strong sense of teamwork and community spirit.

This week is Emergency Services Week (May 3–9, 2026), and we’re proud to recognize the incredible work of those who keep our communities safe.

To mark the occasion, our cadets had the opportunity last week to learn directly from local emergency service professionals, including teams from St. John Ambulance and Niagara Regional Police.

Cadets took part in hands-on learning, building basic first aid skills and gaining insight into careers in emergency services and policing.

A big thank you to our visiting professionals for sharing their time, knowledge, and experience with our cadets!
