Code of Conducts

Cadet 365 Accounts

Cadet 365 is a cadet office account that allows cadets access to Microsoft products free of charge. This includes giving them access to Teams where various communications and resources are provided. 

All cadets have been issued a Cadet 365 account and credentials were provided previously. All cadets need to log into and finish setting up their accounts. 

Once set up, cadets also need to complete the Cyber Security Awareness course. Once your account is set up, the course can be accessed by searching the home page or via this link https://cjcr365.sharepoint.com/sites/cyber  

These accounts are becoming increasingly important and it is required for summer camps as online courses and communication come through this account. Cadets cannot participate in summer training without a valid Cadet 365 account. 

If you need assistance setting up your account or require your login credentials, see Lt Drew on Monday night. You can also contact the Helpdesk at 1-855-252-8082.

Step by step procedure to complete the initial onboarding and FAQ for cadets are available on Canada.ca.  

CAF Tech Talks

The CAF Tech Talks is a regular weekly Canadian Armed Forces engagement opportunity to introduce cadets to various CAF members, their occupation, career, and some equipment and tools of the trade. These episodes are interactive so cadets have the opportunity to ask questions directly to CAF members. They introduce some of the many CAF trades (not normally portrayed in the popular media) which are vital to the overall CAF team and mission success. Participation is entirely optional.

Upcoming sessions will be listed below once we have received the details. If you would like to attend let an officer know and Lt Drew will send you the meeting invite.
