Cadet365

Cadets will need their Cadet365 account before arriving at the CTC. They must ensure that their password is up to date and that two‑factor authentication is available to them once they are at the CTC. Their officers will use this platform for communications as well as training. The cybersecurity awareness course must be completed at least two weeks before arriving at the centre.

Correspondence

Would you like to write a letter or send an item to a cadet? Here is the information you must write on the correspondence when sending it:

• Cadet’s first and last name
• Course title (section number if available)
• Full address of the CTC as indicated in the tab Address, Map

Travel with parents

If the cadet lives in the immediate vicinity of the CTC, they must report to the CTC at the time indicated on the travel plan provided by the corps or squadron. Parents who drive their child directly to the CTC, even if a bus is scheduled, must notify the MCC as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to the address provided above.

Parents will not be reimbursed for travel expenses.

Policy on leave authorization and visitor access

Leave authorizations may be granted from the time instruction ends on Saturday (variable hours). The return time is 2000 hrs on Sunday. These leave authorizations are subject to approval by the cadet’s flight commander, and exceptions may be made if there is a delay in training or flying hours. Cadets will receive the necessary information about leave authorizations from their staff cadets and/or flight commander a few days beforehand.

Access to CTC premises and flight sites is restricted to authorized personnel. Visitors must present valid government-issued photo ID before departing with the cadet during their leave.

Visitors will need to make arrangements in advance to pick up a cadet so that the person is not in training, on duty or in the middle of their working hours.

Use of personal vehicles by staff cadets

Cadet transportation will be organized by the RCSU. However, if you choose another mode of transportation, you must notify the MCC by email two weeks before your departure. No compensation can be claimed. Cadets and staff cadets who bring their personal vehicles with them for the duration of their course will have to respect the instructions and restrictions put in place by the CTC operations centre regarding parking and access to certain sites.

The CTC and RCSU(E) take no responsibility for any breakdown, theft or costs related to the use of a personal vehicle. Those who use their vehicles agree to do so responsibly and to follow the rules of the road as well as the rules and restrictions in effect at the CTC, at the garrison and on the grounds of Royal Military College Saint-Jean.

Under no circumstances may a staff cadet have cadets or other staff cadets in their personal vehicle without authorization. Prior authorization is required. Personal vehicles may not be used during training, either at the CTC or at the flying sites. Transportation is already provided to ensure that people can get to and from training, and it must be used by everyone, without exception. The CTC reserves the right to establish additional rules of use as needed to ensure the safety of its youth and personnel members.

Departure from the CTC

Cadets will receive the details about the departure from the CTC a few days before the graduation parade. It will be important at that time to inform the cadet if you wish to leave with them after the parade. The cadet can pass on the information to their staff cadets/flight commander in order to be removed from the bus/airplane passenger list.

If you plan to have a third party leave with your child (family member, friend, neighbor, relative of another cadet, etc), it is all the more important to communicate this information as soon as possible so that the departure authorization paperwork can be filled out properly. This will avoid complications and delays on the day of departure.

If you know this to be the case even before you arrive at the CTC in early summer, fill in the leave authorization form accordingly to avoid subsequent procedures.

Accommodations

Cadets are housed in dormitories at Royal Military College (RMC) Saint-Jean. They have a bed, closet and chest of drawers for storing personal belongings. Rooms are locked at all times, and cadets will have magnetic chips to access the building and their room. It's important to bring along a lanyard on which to hang the magnetic chip and avoid any losses, otherwise a $20 fee will be charged. Bathrooms are located in the cadet accommodation building.

All bedrooms and bathrooms are gender-specific.

Cadet training allocation

Payment of the cadet training allocation and reimbursement of certain travel expenses will be made by direct deposit. Cadets can send us the following documents in advance:

1. CDT-130 form
2. Void cheque

Documents must be submitted via this secure link on Cadet365:

Cadet 130 – Cadets participating in a summer course (You are now leaving Canada.ca. Link accessible only on the Cadet365 SharePoint)

IMPORTANT: These documents must not be submitted by e-mail.

Cadets who do not have an electronic way of sending documents can bring them in paper format and give them to the Financial Services Officer on arrival at the CTC.

CTC Services

Canteen

CTC t-shirts: It is possible to purchase a generic Cadet Training Centre t-shirt in advance from the CANEX website. (You are now leaving the Government of Canada website)

They will also be on sale in CTC canteens over the summer.

Cadets will have access to a building with space for socializing where they can relax after their day of training. Study rooms will also be available. They will have access to the RMC CANEX, where they can purchase snacks, drinks, toiletries, wax, souvenirs, etc, subject to availability. We recommend that they bring a debit card and/or cash for personal expenses.

Available services: WiFi (available at all times on the RMC site).

Recreational facilities:

• Volleyball courts and sports fields (on request)
• Outdoor running track
• Computer lab
• Access to the RMC training room, but cadets must be accompanied by a staff cadet or officer at all times

Moral support

Support services are provided by a chaplain. A youth advisor is also available for cadets who need it.

Laundry

Washers and dryers are available to all cadets free of charge, but cadets must provide their own laundry soap and fabric softener. Staff cadets may choose to do their own laundry in the provided facilities outside of training hours.

Irons and ironing boards are available.

A change of bedding is offered free of charge to all cadets at least once a week.

Telephones

Cadets are allowed to bring cell phones, but they may not use them during established activity hours between 0600 hrs and 1800 hrs.

The CTC and RCSU(E) take no responsibility for any breakage, theft or costs related to the inappropriate use of a cell phone. Cadets are expected to respect CTC guidelines, as cell phones can be disruptive when they infringe on the integrity of a person's right to privacy, interfere with the quality of teaching or learning, or interfere with the efficient operation of the CTC. Although cadets are allowed to bring personal communication devices with them, they must use them responsibly.

Medical services

Primary medical services and emergency dental care are available at the CTC. If necessary, cadets will be assessed and referred to the health services of the Saint-Jean Garrison or to a civilian (community) health centre.

When cadets receive their offer of participation, it is important to declare any change in their medical condition. An incorrect declaration (or omission) could result in a cadet being returned home prior to boarding or upon arrival at the centre.

We encourage the use of blister packs (Dispill) for prescription drugs. Many pharmacies offer the service free of charge. Over-the-counter medications are permitted, but cadets cannot keep them with them. The form CATO 16-04 Annex C – OTC (Over the Counter)/Prescribed Medication Administration must be completed and in the cadet’s possession upon arrival at the centre. Medication must not be expired and must be placed in luggage in such a way that it is easy to access on arrival at the CTC. Sharing medication is forbidden, even for over-the-counter drugs, and cadets who take medication must be able to take it independently.

Eyeglasses, lenses, contact lenses and frames

These items are considered the cadet's personal items. We strongly recommend that you take out insurance to cover the repair or replacement of your glasses. In the event of breakage while at the CTC, the staff will coordinate a replacement with the cadet’s parents and the cost will be covered by the parents.

We recommend that cadets wearing glasses carry a spare pair or spare contact lenses to avoid delays in training and flights in the event of breakage.

Course Specific

Please note that violent, racist, sexist, alcohol-related, drug-related or offensive symbols are not permitted on civilian clothing.
