We parade on Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. There are also several weekend training opportunities set up throughout the school year, with the option to attend training courses during the summer months. There are many opportunities to grow, and develop your leadership skills as well as work in a te

Drop by with a parent/guardian on a Thursday evening and we'll be glad to answer any questions that you might have. Cadets are not members of the Canadian Forces, and there is no obligation or requirement to join the Canadian Forces.

Congratulate CWO Ahmed, Zara on her promotion to Chief Warrant Officer! She’s made it to the very top of the ranks, which is a huge accomplishment in the cadet program. It takes a great amount of dedication and effort to reach this rank, we hope you’re as proud of yourself as 2947 is of you!

Here is a small look into our yearly FTX, a weekend training exercise that happened to be a first for many of our cadets.

First, a big thank you to Capt Berthiamue, this FTX could not have happened without them. Thank you very much for taking time to allow our cadets to have a memorable experience.

During field training, cadets get the opportunity to develop survival skills that they may need to use in the wilderness. Such skills include: wilderness first aid, bushcraft, navigation using a compass, and improvised shelters. FTXs are a great way for the cadets to apply their teamwork and leadership skills with each other!

Does this sound like fun to you? The cadet program offers life-changing leadership opportunities and best-in-class instruction for youths aged 12-18. The best part is that registration is completely free! To register, visit us at Sherman Armoury on Number 4 Road on Thursdays 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
