ABOUT THE RMC ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Class Secretaries & Branch Presidents
Alumni Association Mission
Honouring the past. Empowering the future.
To bring together our alumni and other members for their mutual benefit, support, mentorship and camaraderie; advance education by establishing and maintaining scholarships, bursaries and prizes; support and promote training and leadership programs by providing funding for programs and initiatives for the benefit of the Canadian Military Colleges to grow and develop Canada’s future leaders; establish, preserve, protect and commemorate monuments and significant heritage sites at the Canadian Military Colleges; enhance, preserve and promote the experience, history, traditions and culture of the Canadian Military Colleges; and to promote and advocate for the foregoing.
RMC Alumni Association Class Secretaries
The strongest and most influential bond that exists amongst the Alumni is that within a graduating Class.
This group includes those that graduated from the College as well as those who only remained for a short period of time. It includes those that choose to become members of the Alumni organization and those that do not. Class activities are organized by a Class President, a Class Secretary, or both. The RMC Alumni Association relies on Class Secretaries as our point of contact for all matters relating to Alumni events, fundraising, and other messaging efforts.

Why We Do It
Supporting the CMCs is not just about investing in institutions; it’s about investing in the future of Canada. The leaders trained and educated at the CMCs will go on to guide our country through challenges yet to come whether in military service or in civilian life, and we must ensure they are prepared to meet those challenges with courage, integrity, and respect.
The establishment of the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, of the Royal Canadian Naval College at Royal Roads (later RRMC) in Victoria, and Collège militaire royale de Saint-Jeanin Saint-Jean sur Richelieu were important steps in evolving from the Colonial Period to create the cadre of the professional force for Canada as a nation. Whether individuals remain in the profession of arms or move into other fields, their connection to the CMCs remains strong. The CMCs are more than just a place where Officer and Naval Cadets experience the excitement of post-secondary education; enrollment represents a commitment to serving their country, exemplifying each student’s bravery in making that choice.
