Exchanges

International Exchanges

Whether hiking in Scotland, canoeing in Sweden or a visiting a museum in Hong Kong, international exchanges introduce senior cadets from each of the three elements to new cultures and unique experiences.

• developing personal and leadership skills
• providing advanced training opportunities
• encouraging citizenship, physical fitness and self-confidence
• developing knowledge, interest and respect for different cultures
• promoting international goodwill and friendship amongst Cadets around the world
• rewarding Cadet performance and excellence
• preparing senior Cadets for leadership at the cadet corps/squadrons and employment as Staff Cadets .

Cadets are selected from across Canada based on their excellence in performance, fitness and involvement in Cadet activities. Members of the Cadet Instructors Cadre lead the trips.

Ultimately, international exchanges are a great investment in youth and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for Canada’s Cadets!

Inter-provincial Exchanges

The goals of the Inter-provincial Exchange Program are to:

• encourage cadets to learn about Canadians of other cultures through travel
• promote active living through sport

This allows cadets to appreciate diversity, to identify with other youth from across the country and to develop an understanding of cultures different from their own.

Selected cadet corps and squadrons from across Canada are paired together either to host cadets from another area or to be hosted themselves.
