The Navy League of Canada is a community-based, volunteer-led organization dedicated to developing the resourcefulness, vitality and leadership of young Canadians through an appreciation of our great naval traditions.
It is a civilian non-profit organization working in partnership
with the Canadian Armed Forces to support the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet program. Volunteer-led, the Navy League of Canada independently operates the Navy League Cadet program (1948) and maintains an interest in Canada’s maritime security through its Maritime Affairs portfolio.
" The Branch" is the local body duly authorized by National Board of Directors to conduct the affairs of the Navy League in Kingston, Ontario. Kingston Branch received its Warrant (Charter) in 1942, granting the Branch its authority.
The Kingston Branch, as a member of the Navy League of Canada, is a partner with the Department of National Defence in sponsoring Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps St Lawrence. The Branch is also solely responsible for the operations and support of Navy League Cadet Corps Cataraqui.
The Branch always has routine operational support tasks and activities needed to be completed in providing and sustaining quality cadet programs for the youth in our "naval" community.
In addition to local fund-raising and training operations and training support activities, we also have a number of governance and reporting requirements to be met as a member of Ontario Division and the Navy League of Canada.
Current Branch members are below. For more information about the Navy League of Canada, go to Navyleague.ca .
