| Description | A federally-sponsored program for young Canadians ages 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of challenging and rewarding activities, and learning more about the Canadian Forces. Cadets are encouraged to become active, responsible members of their communities * learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership, and citizenship * reap the personal benefits of increased self-confidence and physical fitness * learn how to take initiative and make decisions * make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities.
