There is no obligation for you to join. You can just come in and have a look around and see whether or not the program is a fit.
You will have an opportunity to meet other new parents, get information about the program in general and specific to our corps, and see what a typical parade night would look like.
Enrollment of Cadets is free and completely voluntary. Enrollment in Cadets is NOT enrollment in the Canadian Forces. Once enrolled, your child will be expected to
attend regularly, maintain their uniform and commit themselves to the Corps.

a. Be at least 12 years of age but not older than 19 ;(Proof of age must consist of one of the following)
- a birth certificate issued by a Canadian provincial, territorial or federal government agency;
