About

Welcome to the Navy League of Canada - Calgary Branch!

Established in 2018, the Calgary Branch is one of the 260 local branches of the Navy League of Canada. We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting maritime affairs by supporting youth in Calgary and Alberta through maritime-themed programs. Our branch has a proud history of fostering the values of patriotism, respect for the sea services, and commitment to the community. As one of the most active branches in Canada, we dedicate ourselves to supporting the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Coast Guard and promoting maritime affairs across Calgary and beyond.

Our mission is to provide educational opportunities, leadership development, and support for youth through our renowned cadet programs. There are two separate programs: the Navy League Cadets, for youth aged 9 to 12, and the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet program, for youth aged 12 to 18. These programs offer invaluable experiences in teamwork, discipline, nautical skills, citizenship, and respect for self and others. We are passionate about shaping the leaders of tomorrow by instilling confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of civic duty. Cadets learn skills and traditions used for centuries in the naval community in a safe educational environment.

Community engagement is at the heart of everything we do at the Navy League of Canada Calgary Branch. We work tirelessly to connect with volunteers, local partners, and supporters to enhance our programs and initiatives. Whether you’re a parent looking for a rewarding youth activity, a community member interested in volunteering, or someone who shares our maritime passion, we invite you to join us in our ongoing mission to enrich the lives of Calgary’s youth and promote Canada’s rich naval heritage.
