Former Cadets
Former cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis. Some choose to make their reputations in a field directly related to their cadet training by joining the Canadian Forces or becoming a commercial pilot. Others choose to become, for example, world-class athletes, teachers or motivational speakers. No matter what their chosen profession, most of the former cadets credit their success later in life to their having participated in the Cadet Program.
Former cadets include:
Miss World Canada and first-runner up for Miss World 2003. (read more >>)
