Welcome to Ottawa

The capital Region is a great place to serve - be it at NDHQ for RCN or the Army or the RCAF. Those Ex-Cadets who are 'away from home' can always feel welcome with the Ottawa Branch. Join us for a good lunch on the First Wednesday of every month at Army Officers' Mess at 149 Somerset St. W. in Ottawa: 613-236-0186.

For those retired Ex-Cadets who have the pleasure of living or visiting in the National Capital Region, please drop by for lunch. Lunch is still $5.00 for club members and the best value in town!

We have moved to our own domain:

We will take you there now...

The Annual Formal Dinner - plenty of stories to swap

Stories from HQ, stories from the Front in Afghanistan, stories from the reserves and even stories from some of the present Cadets. Have a look at the Gallery for a full look at the event, and look at the Calendar to book for the next event.

The River Cruises, the Golf Tournaments, the nights at the races - and many more - are all inviting you and your partner to enjoy in the company of many more like you.

RMC, CMR and Royal Roads are doing much to document our rich histories.

Some examples from Royal Roads

Interview Excerpts

"I remember coming here. We came into the parade square and we all lined up, and it was the first time that I got the feeling that I was in this with a bunch of other people that were in the same boat as me. So, there was some reassurance that we were all doing this together." - Rick Wing, Class of 1972

"Wakey wakey was 6:30 in the morning. You had 20 minutes to get your bed perfectly made, get properly dressed, get cleaned up, and fall in. And then you went to breakfast. And then you went down to the locker room and you got properly brushed because we wore navy blue uniforms, and everything had to be totally free of this rather strange substance called 'froust' - that was anything that was detectible by the naked eye on your navy blue outfit which was not supposed to be there." - Ed Murray, Class of 1957
