Statement by the Royal Military Colleges of Canada Alumni Association Inc. (RMCAA) on the Report of the Independent External Comprehensive Review (Arbour Report) of the Department of National Defence (DND) and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF)
Unlike civilian universities, these colleges require demonstrated capability in academics, leadership, physical fitness, and bilingualism to graduate. They draw students from all provinces and territories of Canada, allowing these young people to learn about the country they have sworn to serve. The Alumni Association will work diligently to advance the cause of military colleges in Canada, and to explain the value to Canada of retaining them.
