You’ve come to the right place!

Mark your calendars for our Open House on September 23 from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. Explore our displays, meet the 21 Army Family, and get a taste of what awaits you. But don’t worry if you can’t make it—new cadets are welcome to join us any week from September to June. If you’re 12 or older, you can sign up and stay with us until you turn 19.

Here’s What You Need to Know to Get Started:

1. Gather Your Documents:

Proof of Health Insurance:
- Provincial health insurance card (e.g., OHIP)

Cadet Contact Information: Helps us keep you and your family updated on events and activities.

3. No Cost to Join!

Joining is completely free! We’re funded by the Department of National Defence, the Army Cadet League of Canada, and our local sponsor, the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 272 in Hespeler and Branch 121 in Galt. Thanks to their support and our community efforts, we cover all costs for fees, uniforms, and special training.

Congratulations! Once you’ve completed these steps, you’re officially part of the 21 Army Cadets. Don’t worry, you’re not enlisting in the military. The Cadet program is all about having fun, meeting new friends, learning valuable skills, and discovering more about Canada. We can’t wait to welcome you into the 21 Army family!
