The ACLC Gerald Buckley Cadet Fund
The Army Cadet League of Canada, Gerald Buckley Cadet fund is now accepting applications. The fund was created jointly by Gerard Buckley, a former Army Cadet from Newfoundland and Labrador, and Scotiabank. The Army Cadet Corps across Canada, may apply to receive one of four $3,000 grants awarded annually.
The fund’s purpose is to benefit Army Cadets in Canada. As an overriding principle, the monies must assist the greatest number of cadets possible in areas of training where the Government of Canada or the Department of National Defense does not provide funding.
The monies are utilized for the direct training activities of cadets in Canada, such as:
- Biathlon Program for cadets
- Music programs for cadets
- Marksmanship and hunter safety training for cadets
- Adventure training program and expeditions for cadets
- Optional training activity subjects conducted by cadet groups
- Citizenship activities for cadets (i.e., Cadets Caring for Canada)
- Organized cadet groups (i.e., corps, branches, sponsors, courses, etc.) can apply for grants from this fund for specific training requirements.
Cadet groups disadvantaged in their geographical area because of their inability to raise funds and resources for training will receive priority. Applications must be submitted to The Army Cadet League of Canada via the online application by January 15, 2025. Only online applications will be accepted.
