117 Preston/Westphal Royal Canadian Army Cadets Free program for youth 12-18 years old that helps develop citizenship, leadership, fitness and more! The program is open to youth ages 12 to 18.

117 Preston/Westphal RCACC is a Canadian youth organization dedicated to developing leadership, citizenship, physical fitness, and an interest in the Canadian Armed Forces. We parade on Wednesday night from 1830hrs to 2100hrs (6:30-9:00 PM), September to June, at the North Preston Community Centre. During the training year, cadets receive training in areas such as:
-Drill
-Leadership
-Citizenship

-Community Service
-Physical Fitness & Healthy Lifestyle
-Marksmanship
-Survival
-Instruction
-Military History & Traditions

In addition to the training provided through the mandatory training program, we also offer optional activities, including:
-Marksmanship Team
-Biathlon Team
-Military Band
-Sports Nights

Finally, the cadet program also offers the opportunity to attend summer training and various training centres across Canada. These courses provide cadets with the opportunity to receive training in a specialty (including the chance to receive their Canadian Forces Parachutist wings). If you have any questions, are interested in more information, or would like to join the program, please feel free to contact us via email at [email protected].

First time in command, and she didn’t hesitate. 🎉
Last night LCpl Colley stepped up as Section Commander for her drill leadership assessment.
This is how confidence is built and future leaders take shape. Well done, LCpl!

From salutes on the parade square to a life-changing milestone 🇨🇦

It’s not every day a Commanding Officer gets to watch a former cadet become a Canadian citizen. Today was one of those rare, unforgettable moments.

To witness that journey, from early days in uniform to this incredible achievement, is an honour and a reminder of what dedication, resilience, and determination can lead to.

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Congratulations Shomoukh Mejjallid, who is now serving her country as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces as a Canadian Citizen. 🍁
