Battle of the Classes Returns: A Friendly Rivalry with a Lasting Impact
This year’s Battle of the Classes runs from 1 August to 31 December, giving every Class the opportunity to build momentum, rally classmates, and make a meaningful difference. Every gift matters. Whether you choose to support a Class fund, a College priority, the Truth Duty Valour Fund, athletics, leadership development, heritage projects, scholarships, Le Tour des Collèges, or another area close to your heart, any donation, regardless of direction, will count toward your Class’s cumulative total.
Le Tour des Collèges is gaining momentum – the cyclists are at almost 50% of their $150,000 fundraising goal!
In September 2026, alumni from Canada’s military colleges will take to the road for Le Tour des Collèges, a 500-kilometre commemorative ride from RMC Saint-Jean to RMC via Ottawa, celebrating two historic milestones: the 150th anniversary of the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) and the 75th anniversary of Royal Military College Saint-Jean (RMCSJ). Every donation helps honour this legacy while strengthening what these Colleges make possible for future generations.
