We’re passionate about one thing…our cadets

The Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC)

Is a branch of approximately 7,500 Canadian Armed Forces officers dedicated to the training, supervision, and safety of Sea, Army, and Air Cadets. It is the largest officer branch in the Canadian Forces and operates under the Cadet Organizations Administration and Training Service (COATS), which includes members from all branches of the military reserve.

Civilian Volunteers and Instructors (CV/CI)

Civilian Volunteers (CVs) and Civilian Instructors (CIs) play a vital role in the success of the Canadian Cadet Organizations (CCO). These dedicated individuals generously share their time, skills, and passion to support the development of youth across the country.

Civilian Instructors (CIs) are paid members who bring valuable expertise to training, administration, and corps operations. Many come from diverse professional backgrounds and help enrich the program with specialized knowledge and mentorship.

Civilian Volunteers (CVs) assist with a variety of cadet activities under the supervision of staff. Whether it’s supporting training nights, helping with logistics, or providing additional supervision, CVs are essential to creating a safe, engaging, and well-supported environment for cadets.

Together, CIs, CVs and Officers enhance the cadet experience, ensuring young Canadians have access to meaningful leadership, citizenship, and fitness opportunities in their communities. Their commitment and care make a lasting impact on both the program and the youth it serves.
