Parents/guardians and prospective cadets can now visit our website at www.canada.ca/join-cadets to receive information to help them start the registration process. The tool will gather their contact information as well as the unit they are interested in joining and forward it to the corps/squadrons’ generic mailbox. Corps and squadrons will then be able to contact the parent/guardian to answer any questions and arrange for the completion of the registration process.

On July 31, the City of Toronto announced the Family Well-Being Plan, which has been developed in partnership with community agencies and social service providers, to highlight the supports available to those who may be experiencing family violence during the pandemic. Throughout this pandemic, people have been spending more time at home, than ever before. For some, this can feel especially isolating and challenging, when the environment in their home is unsafe. No child, youth or family in the city should feel alone and helpless. By connecting with one of the service providers, residents can receive critical support, such as counselling, emotional assistance, safety planning, information and referrals free of charge.
