Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do cadets travel to and from the CTC?
A: All transportation is organized and paid for by DND. Cadets may travel by DND vehicle, commercial or DND bus or commercial or DND air. Cadets are escorted or met on all legs of their journey when travelling in large groups. For smaller groups, adult escorts will be based on location and duration. If parents request special transportation arrangements or early return home (Return To Unit (RTU)) for their cadet, they may be financially responsible. The dates listed on the “Offer of Participation” are course dates and do not include travel. Depending on how far the CTC is, cadets may travel up to two days prior to and following the course dates listed.
