Members of our cadet corps and squadrons,

As we move forward modernizing the current Cadet Program, staff from across the country have been formulating new ways to deliver engaging training for cadets and adult leaders in a virtual environment.

Exploring virtual training delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic has allowed the Cadet Program to move forward in new ways, taking advantage of technology. From virtual seminars to health and fitness challenges, cadets are encouraged to remain active and engaged as we move into the summer period.

This summer three Virtual Cadet Training Centres will help deliver exciting challenges and activities for cadets. Throughout the summer they will offer different opportunities for cadets to further develop both personal and cadet skills in a new, virtual setting.

Cadets will have the opportunities to participate in flexible, voluntary training opportunities either independently at their own pace or in facilitated sessions. This summer will be about engagement and flexibility while continue to focus on the cadet experience.

5-weeks of summer training activities
Cadets will be able to take five weeks of distance learning activities during the summer, for about two to three hours per week. The choice of the 22 activities is the same as those offered on the "Cadet Activities" portal on the Extranet and posted on the Cadet Learning / Apprentissage des cadets Facebook page, and detailed in the Virtual CTC course Schedule.

Registration for these activities will open on Monday, 29 June at 1100hrs EST / 0900hrs MST and will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. In order for cadets to register for these activities, Cadets will need to send an email to their Regional Cadet Support Unit (RCSU) with the following information:

Last Name
First Name
Corps / Squadron Number
Corps / Squadron element
Name of the activity you wish to register for.
Dates of serial you wish to register for.
The language you would like the activity delivered in;
Phone number (will be use as a second factor authentication for your online account)
A email address that the cadet has access to; and
Instrument selection for cadets registering for the music course

Cadets must send an email to the following address that corresponds to their Regional Cadet Support Unit (RCSU).

RCSU Northwest (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory and the territory of Nunavut) vctcregistrationnorthwest@cadets.gc.ca

Cadets’ email must be sent from their personal email address or an email that they can access.  A parent email, that the cadet cannot access, should not be used.

Cadets will be contacted once they are loaded on an activity, and provided instructions on how to log in to the learning tools required to participate in the activity.
