This is the last month that applications will be taken for paving bricks for the Canadian Naval Centennial "Homecoming Statue" being constructed by the community on the Inner Harbour in downtown Victoria.  More information may be found here www.homecomingstatue.com Individuals, organizations...

That is being questioned and checked by the Formation Chiefs. 

Does the last line of the directive cover the circumstance described? "EXCEPTIONS TO THIS CANFORGEN ARE PERMITTED FOR VALID OPERATIONAL REASONS ONLY, INCL EMPL IN ACTUAL FIELD OPS, FIELD TRG ACTIVITIES OR OTHER APPROVED TRG SITUATIONS "

This will be interesting to watch. Eventually people will begin to realize how serious the Navy is about this.  Other scuttlebutt is that after following up compliance disciplanary action will be offered for disobeying the directive?  Would seem that supervisors who advise to disregard...

Wearing the uniform is not an issue.  You need the approval of your CO and the CO of the cadet corps/squadron.  Your unit may indeed allow you Class A pay to support the cadet program.  However, before you can work with cadets you also need a "Vulnerable Sector Screening" certification.  This is...

The program and promotion belong to the CBC.  It is likely that part of the arrangement is that "politician at work" agrees to attend and do what is required without concern for the political value and let "show biz" happen.

This change only affects the name of the Sub-component of the the Reserve Force, which is now the Cadet Organiztion and Training Service or COATS. There are no changes for members of the Cadet Instructors Branch. Terms of service and all other policies are unchanged. The change does provide...
