current week
19 - 25 january 2026
Sunday 25 January is regular training from 1300-1600 with the dress being full uniform or white shirt/dark pants and shoes (for those without a uniform).
Please note: At this time the corps is at maximum cadet capacity and therefore will not be accepting new enrolments. A “wait list” has been established for interested parties who will be notified when openings occur.
Cadets please arrive between 1250-1300. Due to base restrictions and staffing requirements, cadets must arrive on time. Cadets arriving more than 5 minutes late will not be admitted.
* Cadets wearing winter footwear are asked to bring their indoor shoes/drill boots separately to change into on arrival.
Parents are asked to arrive for pick-up at 1545 for Liberty Boat announcements before cadets are released at 1600.
Cadets should bring a LABELLED water bottle, food or snacks. A canteen will also be available at the 1430 stand easy. As items are priced at $1 or less it is requested that cadets bring no more than $5 as change cannot be made for larger denomination.
Competition Teams Training will continue on Sunday 18 January from 1200-1300 (please arrive between 1150-1200). As lunch is not provided cadets are required to bring a snack/lunch and water.
Drum & fife training has temporarily been suspended.
For weekly training purposes, cadets will enter HMCS Carleton from the entrance to the gate in the back parking lot. A parent must remain with the cadet until he/she is cleared for admittance to the base by a Kingsmill officer. Similarly, at a cadet activity off the base, a parent must check in with a Kingsmill officer for both drop off and pick up.
Please note that at this time, we are not authorized to let parents or guardians into the building.
In order to reduce the risk of catching or spreading illness cadets should stay home if they or any family member feels sick.
A reminder to parents/guardians – if for any reason your cadet is unable to attend Sunday base training, please submit the “leave request” form found on the home page of the Kingsmill website so he/she will be recorded as excused for the day for attendance purposes. Your cadet is still responsible for completing the week’s lesson and quiz in Google Classroom.
Cadet dress for the day: Navy League uniform or white shirt/dark pants and shoes (for those without a uniform)
Officer dress for the day: Winter dress
