Staff

Staff & Instructors

Staff at 709 Toronto Signals (and any Cadet Corps or Squadron) are composed of one of two groups – Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel, or civilians. CAF personnel can be Commissioned Officers or Non-Commissioned Officers. You will easily identify these members by their military uniform. Civilian staff are divided into three groups – Civilian Instructors, who are civilian contractors employed by the Department of National Defence (DND); Civilian Volunteers, who are unpaid staff employed by DND to work on the Corps staff and report to the Commanding Officer. The third group of civilians are also Civilian Volunteers who are part of the Support Committee, part of the Army Cadet League of Canada, and report to the Support Committee Chair.

In all cases, any adult who has an authorized role at the Corps has undergone training specific to their duties and have undergone extensive Police records screening by either DND or the League (depending on their status) and have received training designed for working with youth. There is constant oversight by both organizations and all members are expected to maintain a high-level of professionalism at all times.
