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!
We are very pleased to announce the recipients of the Ontario Division Awards and Recognition for 2022. Congratulations and Bravo Zulu to all award recipients.

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:
VOLUNTEERS:
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:
**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.
The Ontario Division Board of Directors is responsible for supporting the Branches in Ontario with developing the youth in over 60 communities.
The Navy League of Canada was established in 1895 to promote an interest in Maritime Affairs generally throughout Canada. In 1918, the Boys Naval Brigade was formed and would eventually become the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets. In 1950, the Navy League Cadet Program was established.
The Navy League of Canada has a presence in over 60 communities. Our youth programs benefit young Canadian every year, and we continue to grow.
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and improve conditions. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
We are a Registered Charity - 11924 6635 RR0013
