Our Unit

2317-30th Field Artillery Regiment Royal Canadian Army Cadets is the one of the oldest cadet corps in Ottawa, and during 2013 moved into brand new accommodation in the Ottawa Airport area. It has over 25 active Cadets with a supporting officer and support committee. 2317 is collocated with its sponsoring Canadian Armed Forces unit, the 30th Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery.

This has been a very busy year for 2317. Field exercises saw 2317’s cadets learning winter and wilderness survival skills. 2317’s cadets are competitive in the Canadian Cadet Organization’s orienteering, winter biathlon program, marksmanship, and with individual cadets advancing to regional competition, and international expedition. 2317 is active in the Ottawa community, participating in remembrance parades with its sponsoring Legion, 480 Westboro Branch, and participating in volunteer and fundraising activities throughout the city. Over half the Corp’s cadets were selected for summer specialty training or worked as staff cadets at summer training centres.

2317 shares a close bond with its affiliated CAF unit, the 30th Field Regiment, RCA. Cadets are present for many Regimental activities, such as the Remembrance Day Gun Salute on Parliament Hill, and many Regimental members volunteer their time to work with 2317’s officers to help in cadet training and Corps operations. 2317 is proud to be 30th Field Regiment’s Cadet Battery and looks forward to another successful year training in partnership with the Royal Canadian Artillery.

We are located at 307 de Niverville Private (Morrison Artillery Park) in Ottawa, and gladly accept new applicants from the age of 12 years to 18 years old.
