Empowering the Next Generation

Hello Cadets,

This Tuesday evening, we’ll be focusing on uniform preparation and presentation. Please make sure to bring the following items with you to parade night:

Parade boots and polish – We’ll go over proper boot care and polishing techniques.

Your beret – You’ll learn how to correctly form and shape your beret for a sharp, professional look.

This is a great opportunity to make sure your uniform is inspection-ready and to pick up some helpful tips from the staff and senior cadets.  If you don't have parade boots yet we will have some on hand to practice until you get your own. 

See you Tuesday night – ready to shine (literally)!

This message is primarily aimed at cadets who have never been issued a uniform, but it could also be helpful for cadets when they need a larger uniform.  Use the Uniform Measurement link button (below) to access a form to input your cadet's measurements.  We will use these measurements to size your cadet for a Field Training Uniform and dress uniform.

We have a reasonable supply of uniform parts on-hand so some cadets may receive their uniforms very quickly.  If we are missing sizes we will promptly order them from our supplier in Montreal.  Depending on their on-hand inventory, these orders can take as little as a week.  Peak periods such as the beginning of the training year can cause delays.  It is my goal to get all cadets in uniform  for Remembrance Day at the absolute latest.
