The Army Cadet League of Ontario - ACLC(ON)

The Army Cadet League of Canada (Ontario) is a registered Charity and was officially formed in 1971 to work with the Department of National Defence (DND) in support of Army Cadets.   The Ontario League has an office located in Toronto. The National League office is located in Ottawa and there is a League Branch for each of the provinces and the territories. 

The Army Cadet League of Canada (Ontario) is the supervisory body of the local 557 Army Cadet Support Committee and volunteers.  Our members and volunteers work with youth ages 12 to 18 years. The Army Cadet Program depends heavily on parent and community volunteers. Our volunteers are valuable to us and we are always looking for individuals of all talents and interests to help make the Army Cadet Program successful. All our volunteers go through an application and screening process to ensure and offer a safe environment for the cadets.

The 557 Corps Support Committee - 557(SC)

The 557 Support Committee is located in Brampton, ON and was officially formed in 1973, and is supervised by The Army Cadet League of Canada (Ontario). 

The committee is comprised of 8-10 cadet parent and community volunteers tasked with providing suitable accommodations for cadet training and activities, promoting the Cadet Program to the community, youth and their parents, managing cadet funds, and fundraising initiatives at the community level to support the cadets of the 557 Lorne Scots Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps. 

The Army Cadet Program is a free of charge youth program for boys and girls ages 12 to 18, and is partially funded by the Department of National Defence (DND), however, not all operational and program costs are covered. To maintain a great program experience for our cadet youth, numerous additional expenses must be covered and fund raised by our volunteer Support Committee members.
