SUPPORT 2799
The 2799 Queen’s York Rangers Army Cadet Corps, based out of the John Graves Simcoe Armoury in Aurora, ON, is made up of approximately 150 youth between the ages of 12 and 18 from Aurora, Newmarket, and surrounding communities.
The Cadet program teaches leadership, citizenship, self-reliance, physical fitness, respect for others, and a multitude of valuable life skills. It offers unique opportunities you won't find anywhere else.
The Cadet program is community based, succeeding through strong community involvement and support. Cadets in turn make valuable contributions to their communities.
Our Cadets have honoured our Veterans through Remembrance Day parades, ceremonies, and candlelight vigils at the Aurora
Cenotaph, and we recently raised $2,500 through a social event to provide hot meals for families in our community.

WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
While the core training program and instructors are provided by the federal government, there are many other expenses that rely on community fundraising. These funds go towards office and classroom supplies, trips, accommodations and food for enhanced training, and more! Funds are also used for our band, drill, orienteering, marksmanship and biathlon teams to repair or purchase new equipment, for competition fees, and travel. Teams enrich the cadet experience, offering unrivaled extracurricular training and the opportunity to travel Nationally! With your support 2799 can continue to develop the leaders of tomorrow through the best training opportunities and program delivery.
