Under the authority of the National Defence Act the program is administered by the Canadian Forces and funded through the Department of National Defence.

Army cadets develop abilities in: - Use of map and compass - GPS technology - Orienteering - First-aid - Camping and survival skills - Canoeing - Abseiling - Trekking - Mountain biking As they get more experienced, some will be selected for parachuting, white-water rafting and glacier climbing. They will also learn to become outdoor leaders. Army Cadets get involved in ceremonial military events and citizenship activities that allow them to connect to their Canadian heritage. They develop a great sense of pride and discipline through their involvement in a hierarchical system that allows them to hone their leadership skills as they grow older and they learn to care for younger cadets. In addition to their specialty training, Army Cadets may become involved in other exciting activities like: - Competitive Olympic-style marksmanship and biathlon - Sports competitions - Music training and competitions - Cultural outings - Volunteer community support Canada represents the best playground for teenagers interested in the outdoors.

Liver disease affects children, women and men with equal and sometimes fatal consequences. Today, 1 in 4 Canadians may be affected by liver disease and many don’t even know it. Tragically, by the time liver disease is detected it is often too late as severe liver damage has already occurred. Founded in 1969, the Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) was the first organization in the world devoted to providing support for research and education into the: - Causes - Diagnoses - Prevention - Treatment of all liver diseases. The CLF is the only non-government organization funding all forms of liver disease research in Canada; unfortunately in any given year we are only able to fund 20% of all qualified research grant applications we receive. Imagine, if any of those unfunded projects had the answers to early diagnosis, treatment or the cures we are looking for. We are looking for passionate volunteers to join our effort in raising awareness of liver disease, as well as funds to deliver: - Free public education programs - Support life-saving research.
