History of the Navy League of Canada
The Navy League of Canada was established in 1895 to promote an interest in Maritime Affairs generally throughout Canada. As part of this mandate a first youth program was launched, the Boy’s Naval Brigade, in 1917. The original goal of the youth program was to encourage young men to enter the Royal Canadian Navy or other seafaring careers. However the youth programs soon developed a much broader scope and evolved into modern Cadet Programs with a focus on leadership and citizenship.
Today, the Navy League of Canada has a presence in over 230 Canadian communities. Youth programs benefit 15,000 young Canadians every year and it continues to grow. The modern Navy League focuses on three key programs: Navy League Cadets, Royal Canadian Sea Cadets and Maritime Affairs.
