Community Service

Cadets participate in and support a broad range of community initiatives and events. Some of them the Training Staff and the Branch select, some of them are in support of important fundraising initiatives, some are suggested by returning cadets.  It all aims toward youth development.  In addition to supporting the Royal Canadian Legion’s poppy campaign, NLCC Cataraqui cadets participate in community beautification, spread Holiday Cheer, and send heart-felt mail to our military members serving abroad. 

Team Building!

One of the best ways to learn is to have fun while doing it, and at NLCC Cataraqui everyone is welcome to join in.  Cadets do sports together with the aim of enjoying activities and improving fitness, regardless of how skilled you are or how fit you are when you start.  We also do weekend trips and day excursions where you can get to know your friends better and make new ones when combined with other local corps and squadrons.

Activities & Teams

Some of the possible activities, the Leadership Team tries to offer each year include, but are not limited to: 

SAILING AND KAYAKING

NLCC Cataraqui registers a limited number of cadets each year for CANSAIL training at Collin's Bay Yacht Club.  This is possible from funding from our Branch and a parental co-pay.


Summer camp offers canoeing and sailing.


NLCC Cataraqui shares access to Branch owned kayaks which cadets can sail for free under the supervision of our qualified, experienced staff. These boats give young people another way to learn skills like leadership and cooperation, as well as sailing and navigation. 


Another way we try to get  onwater training is through supported sail training aboard the St Lawrence II, just like our fellow Sea Cadets.

SEAMANSHIP

 Seamanship training has variety and is lots of fun. Cadets are taught how to tie bends and hitches, create knot boards, rig gyns and apply them to realistic situations at the corps, on the water with sailboats and/or sailing ships, and at home or the cottage.  


Material for training is usually provided. Sometimes you can use things at home for more practice.

DRILL TEAM

NLCC Cataraqui aspires each year to have a  Drill team that qualifies for  Provincials. In addition to regular drill  training, competition includes a memorized drill sequence requiring concentration and discipline.
