The Royal Canadian Legion has a long and valued partnership with Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers (JCR). Cadets and JCR engage in varied and unique experiences and develop competencies in leadership, citizenship, and physical and mental fitness.
Cadets and JCR volunteer with the Legion Poppy Campaign, support our Veterans and take active roles in commemorative ceremonies across Canada. These youth play a significant role in supporting Legion activities and promoting Remembrance. In return, Legion Branches assist corps, squadrons and patrols in various ways that add to the success of the programs.
In addition to being a major sponsor and supporter of Cadet Corps, Squadrons and JCR Patrols across the country, the Legion sponsors the Cadet Medal of Excellence which honours outstanding Cadets and JCR.
It is awarded in recognition of individual endeavours in citizenship, which enhance the aims and objectives of the cadet movement.
Each year, select Cadets and JCR from across Canada assist dignitaries with their placing of wreaths during the National Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa.
There are 22 Cadet and Navy League units in the Zone G5 area, and they are all supported by one or more Legion branches.
