From the commanding officer
Welcome to Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps DUNDAS!
The Sea Cadet program is a joint program between the Department of National Defense and the Navy League of Canada.
It is a National program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities, while learning about the Naval activities of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills, such as leadership, teamwork and citizenship. They are also eligible to earn the volunteer hours required for high school graduation. Our cadet corps works closely with the Dundas Community, including the Royal Canadian Legion.
Our staff is a group of Reserve Officers, supported by Civilian Volunteers, all of whom are experienced in running the program, and have been subjected to security screening.
The program itself is set up so that in the first couple of years, members learn the skills and behaviours of a cadet. Cadets focus their training on Seamanship (rope work), Marksmanship (using an air rifle), Drill (marching and sequenced movements), Sports & Fitness, and Sailing. The following years are focused on leadership and instructional techniques, with qualified cadets running a lot of the day to day instruction and operation of the corps.
We also run weekend training activities, to enhance regular corps training, from camping to staying at military bases around Ontario. EXPERIENCE is key! There is also a summer training (summer camp) portion to the program that gives the cadet multiple avenues of training, which can lead to a full time summer staff cadet position.
In my 15+ years as an Officer (17+ years working within the program), I have been with RCACS Starfighter (Brantford), RCSCC Ojibwa (Toronto) and RCSCC Dundas. I was previously a Commanding Officer at RCSCC Ojibwa for a term of three years. My motto for all cadets is to ‘REACH FOR THE STARS’. No dream is too big, everything can be achieved with heart, passion, and personal drive.
We are located inside the Dundas Lions Memorial Community Centre at 10 Market Street South, at the corner of King and Market Streets in Dundas. We parade on Tuesday evenings during the school year (September until June) from 1830-2130hrs (6:30-9:30pm).

It is worth a visit to RCSCC Dundas!
