Mission Statement
At 186 RCACS we will conduct the annual training required by the cadet program in a manner that is efficent, respectful and effective in teaching and reaching cadets on a professional, academic and meaningful level.
The Cadet Program is funded by the Department of National Defence in partnership with the civilian Navy League, Army Cadet League and Air Cadet League of Canada. The civilian sponsor requires local community support to meet its obligations that include accommodations, training aids and equipment and program enhancements not otherwise provided. Parents and cadets are expected to participate in and contribute to fund raising as required by the League's local sponsoring element.
Diversity - The Cadet Program is open to all Canadians from the ages of 12 to 18 regardless of income, race, religion, culture or other socioeconomic factors. The Program embraces Canada's multiculturalism and offers young Canadians opportunities to interact with youth from other cultures.
Teaching Values - The Cadet Program emphasizes key values such as loyalty, professionalism, mutual respect and integrity. Cadets also learn about fair play, teamwork and tolerance through all of their activities.
Staying in school - Cadets are motivated to work hard at school in order to qualify for international exchanges and other rewards. They are taught related skills such as effective speaking and instructional techniques which lend to an increased level of success in school.
Advanced Training -Cadets who attend courses at summer training centres receive a training allocation. Many senior cadets can participate in advanced training opportunities full-time during the summer as instructors or support staff.
Visits and Exchanges - Cadets meet other young adults from across Canada and from foreign countries while participating in annual national and international exchanges.
Future Leaders - Former Cadets have found success in a variety of fields and have given back to Canada and the world. Cadet Alumni include astronauts Marc Garneau and Chris Hadfield, Major Maryse Carmichael (first female Snowbirds pilot), Senator Terry M. Mercer, (Certified Funding Raising Executive), George Canyon (Country Music Artist) and Ms Afshin-Jam Nazanin (International human rights activist, Miss World Canada 2003 and Miss World 1st runner up).
