Leadership in the North: Investing in Canada’s Future Leaders
Beyond military training, this experience fostered meaningful cultural exchange. The students engaged with the Cree Nation community, participating in local events and gaining a deeper appreciation for Indigenous traditions and perspectives.

Celebrating 40 and 45 Years of Trailblazing Women at the Canadian Military Colleges
A military education is tough by design. For the first women to receive a military education at the Canadian Military Colleges it featured extra complexities. They entered a predominantly male environment, with some fellow cadets and even instructors who didn’t feel they should be there. They had to be tough-minded and resilient and work extra hard to prove that they belonged. They were true trailblazers, breaking ground for the generations that followed.

As part of a Canadian War Museum initiative, “In Their Own Voices,” aimed at creating accounts of veteran experience after war or military service, Dr. Howard Coombs (3 Commando 1989-1991) is researching the ongoing efforts made by Canadian Airborne Regiment members to preserve the “Airborne brotherhood” after the 1995 disbandment. Key research questions aim to outline the idea of the “Airborne Brotherhood” and how that spirit has been preserved.
RMC Alumni Association Testimonial – Mottershead Battlefield Tour
Before this trip, I was not someone who enjoyed history for the sake of history; I took the classes and learned the content but I did not have an appreciation for what it all means. I did not understand the sacrifices of the young men who went to war for our nation like I do now. I now have an appreciation for where the roots of our national identity are planted and I can better appreciate the sheer number of men who believed in the idea of Canada identity so much that they were willing to give their lives for the values that the maple leaf represents.
