Welcome to the Legacy: A Message from the Class of 1984
I hope you reflect about this time in the history of our nation, particularly the efforts currently underway to provide our military forces with the equipment and support they so richly deserve. This is where you and your classmates will play a crucial role. The world is undergoing unforeseen changes due to geopolitical forces.
RMC ’02 congratulates RMC ’26.
RMC graduates have answered Canada’s call from the Boer War to the First and Second World Wars, including Normandy and Sicily, through Korea, the Cold War, peacekeeping, the Balkans, Rwanda, Haiti, and Afghanistan. In each generation, they have served and led Canadians through uncertainty, danger, and war.

Le Tour des Collèges – Cycling Adventure Celebrating RMC’s 150th and RMC Saint-Jean’s 75th Anniversaries
To celebrate these two significant milestones, a team of ex-cadets will be cycling from RMC Saint-Jean to RMC via Ottawa, arriving at RMC during Reunion Weekend on Thursday, September 17, 2026. The team will be known as the “Older Eighteen” in homage to the “Old Eighteen,” the first class of Cadets at RMC in 1876, as these cyclists will all be somewhat older than the original cadets!
Inspiring Generations: The Class of 1980’s Ongoing Commitment to Giving Back
The Class of 1980 continues to set the benchmark for committed community‑minded alumni leadership. Their generosity inspires fellow alumni and directly benefits the next generation of Naval and Officer Cadets who will carry these traditions forward.
A Legacy That Endures: Honouring Jon Jennekens (RMC 1954) and the Power of Planned Giving
The Royal Military Colleges of Canada has been shaped by remarkable individuals whose lives of service continue to influence future generations. One such individual is Jon Jennekens (RMC 1954)—an engineer, veteran, global leader in nuclear safety, and devoted supporter of the RMC Alumni Association. Through his legacy gift, Jon ensured that his commitment to RMC would live on long after his lifetime, strengthening the College he loved and believed in so deeply.
