Sea Cadets is a national organization for youth between 12 and 18 years old. Sea Cadets teaches and encourages citizenship, responsibility, self-discipline, leadership, organization, time management, physical fitness, and overall self-improvement. We seek to instill a good hard work ethic, a sense of teamwork, and an understanding that success comes with effort and perseverance. All of this is achieved through an organized program of training and activities.

Sea Cadets is a national youth organization for boys and girls aged 12 to 18. Sea Cadets teaches and encourages citizenship, responsibility, self-discipline, leadership, organization, time management, physical fitness, and overall self-improvement. We seek to instill a good hard work ethic, a sense of teamwork, and an understanding that success comes with effort and perseverance. All of this is achieved through an organized program of training and activities.

Sea Cadets learn about sailing and boating, communications, marching drill, target shooting, leadership and instructional technique, citizenship, music training, sports and fitness, and naval / maritime awareness and more. We have optional activities like first aid training, hiking, and orienteering.

We also have opportunities for Cadets to travel abroad on International Exchanges, or to be sent on Canadian Navy or Coast Guard ships for seamanship training.

We have an outstanding summer training program, with summer courses ranging from 2 to 8 weeks in length. After attending several summer training courses, Cadets can apply to become summer staff at our training centers, earning a great summer income and having fun doing it.
 
Rotary's values in training our youth with RYLA are lined up with the Sea Cadets.

Brian spoke of his passion and the Club's passion for our Belize project.  Already in the works in a Global Grant for Belize and we thank Al S., Glen and Brian for the hard work that has been done on this.  The goal is to raise $200,000.00 US for this grant and then deploy about 25 more schools and change the lives of about 3000 children.  Our Club has helped to change the lives of so many in Belize and this grant will further our ability to do more.  We have asked the Board for $20,000.00 CND towards this project.
