Truth, Duty and Hounour
At No. 9 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, our motto is “Truth, Duty, and Honour.” These values guide everything we do and form the foundation of our corps.
Truth: We encourage our cadets to uphold honesty and integrity in all aspects of their lives. Truth is about being accountable, respectful, and transparent in both actions and words.
Duty: Our cadets are committed to their responsibilities, not just to themselves, but to their peers, families, and community. Duty is about serving with dedication, discipline, and pride.
Honour: Honour represents the respect we hold for others and ourselves. It reflects the high standards we set and strive to uphold in everything we do, both within the cadet program and beyond.
These core principles empower our cadets to become leaders who demonstrate strong character, serve with pride, and lead with integrity.
