Inaugural Ontario Cadets Week: October 1st to 7th, 2022

We are thrilled to announce that Bill 45, “An Act to Proclaim Ontario Cadets Week” was passed into law by the Ontario Lieutenant Governor on April 11, 2022. 

The three Cadet programs of Ontario, Army, Navy and Air,  plus the Navy League Cadet Program, will be recognized annually across the province of Ontario to “honour the outstanding young Canadians whose unique personal and collective development through cadet programs will help them be successful in Canadian society, as well as recognizing those who support the programs directly and indirectly.” 

This is a wonderful opportunity to highlight our Sea and Navy League Cadets, our programs, and our officers, instructors and volunteers as Corps begin their local training programs this Fall.  We look forward to seeing how your Branch and Corps plan to celebrate, engage and inform your local communities!

Fundraising & Volunteers under new Covid-19 Posture

Clarifications to the Revised Covid-19 Posture:

FUNDRAISING:

For those Branches who normally do joint fundraising with both Sea Cadets and Navy League cadets and staff participating, there has been a change for Sea Cadets and RCSCC officers:   

  • RCSCC CO’s will need to submit a request for approval of fundraising to be able to participate. 
  • Navy League Cadet Corps have the green light if the Corps has been approved for in person training.


VOLUNTEERS:

  • The CAF has not given permission for Sea, Army or Air Cadets to volunteer with NLCCs yet 
  • Adult volunteers are now permitted to attend Sea Cadet training activities while adhering to public health measures and screening requirements.
  • There is a new “one page” application that must be submitted to RCSCC CO’s for screening verification prior to volunteers returning to in-person activities
  • “Visitors” (canteen supervisor, guest speaker, presenter, etc.) don’t need screening but must be directly supervised at all times by a CAF member or screened volunteer
  • “Occasional support” (drivers, fundraising, assistance, etc.) new screening requirements are in transition for “Basic” screening but RCSU Central is seeking approval from the CAF to allow for some flexibility for parent drivers with previous screening parameters to be acceptable in the interim as the new system continues to evolve
  • With the exception of Cadets (see earlier comments above), adult volunteers who have been screened by the Navy League,  are permitted to return to assist with Navy League Cadet Corps but must adhere to health and safety protocols where they remain in effect.
  • Canteens can be open again but any volunteers operating the canteen must be screened and /or supervised and adhere to COVID cleaning and sanitization processes and cadets should still be encouraged to wash or sanitize their hands before and after Stand Easy, maintain social distancing to the extent possible, and not share snacks or drinks. 


Revised COVID-19 Posture

Effective Friday, March 18th , 2022, the Navy League of Canada will suspend its previous policies in coordination with the new guidance announced by Provincial Public Health authorities and adjust the COVID posture as follows:

  • All NL Cadet and Branch in-person local training, fundraising and community engagement is authorized effective March 18th, 2022, subject to approval by the Division President, 
  • Division Presidents remain the approving authority for NL Cadet & Branch Activities that are permitted within the Provincial Health Measures
  • The use of bussing and overnight activities for NL Cadets including summer camps, training events and other activities with other Cadet Corps will be authorized effective May 1st, 2022, with additional guidance to be promulgated
  • There is no longer a mandatory requirement for verification of vaccination status, unless otherwise specified by Provincial Health Policies or the Government of Canada**. Note that the CAF will continue to require proof of vaccination for cadets, officers, and instructors for CAP, CTCs, and overnight activities
  • If an individual wishes to continue to wear a mask or face shield, they shall be permitted and encouraged to do so based on their individual preference.**  

**Various facility owners may require continued confirmation of vaccination status and mandatory masking to enter facilities including DND/CAF facilities such as Bases, Armouries, Naval Reserve Divisions. The CAF has issued direction that all officers, and CIs will continue to wear masks until otherwise directed.
