Unable to Attend Training?: If a Cadet is going to be absent or arriving late on a Thursday Parade Night then the Training/Admin Office must be advised by email at admino@miltonarmycadets.ca. Leave a detailed message explaining the absence along with a request to be excused.  If a Cadet is requesting to be excused from a Mandatory Event then a Parent/Guardian must contact the Training/Admin Staff prior to the event, by email, with the request. If the request involves a Corps Weekend or Special Weekday Activity and deals with an issue such as late arrival or last minute cancellation due to illness,  then Staff should be contacted by email as they may not be available at the LHQ office to take phone calls.   For non-urgent matters or to make general enquiries a cadet or parent can email the Corps, 2990admin@miltonarmycadets.ca, or call and leave a message at 905-876-1803.

Youth Initiatives: The Corps promotes Positive Social Relations for Youth (PSRY) and any cadet may speak with a Senior or a Staff Member on any issue of concern to them.  The Corps also supports the activities and goals of the Kids Help Phone and the Stop A Bully program.  Any youth who needs to reach out for help in an anonymous or confidential manner may call 1-800-668-6868 or text TALK to 686868 to connect with a crisis responder.  Click on the following button(s) for more information.
