RCM Academy will be an educational institution that challenges students in all areas of academia and will also heavily promote Canada\222s rich military heritage and traditions in the classroom and through varied external activities. The curriculum is designed to develop minds, bodies and character, to prepare young Canadians for future challenges. It will assist them in becoming effective leaders, role models, and citizens in our Canadian society.

RCM Academy will place great emphasis on athletic as well as sportsmanship development within its curriculum as well as through recreational and military programs to encourage discipline, team building, and perseverance as well as self esteem to strengthen character.  The Academy will provide our young citizens faced with varied difficulties a safe and structured environment where they will receive important academic and moral support while they develop social, physical and disciplinary skills that will guide them into socially responsible and active citizens in adulthood.

The underlying philosophy of the Academy is to use education both in the classroom and through organized activities to prepare youths to recognize that each person is responsible for their fellow citizens along with a patriotic duty to community and country after graduation.  The Academy will enable our young people to see the importance of their role within a community and compel them to contribute. The province of Ontario and Toronto specifically, has the highest youth population in Canada, many of them without any sense of direction or opportunity. RCM Academy will be able to provide that focus and positive direction using a military environment.

RCMA will build a standard of educational programs and activities rooted in tradition and reflect our strong Canadian military history designed to build discipline, motivation, and responsibility, accountability. The Academy will create future leaders, and represent academic as well as educational excellence.  RCMA is a not-for-profit organization under the Canadian Corporation Act and is registered and approved by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency.

The academy is endorsed by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, has also conveyed her good wishes to the academy. We at RCMA are compelled to teach our young citizens the important of duties. We are asking for our organization support in this development for out youths.

The Academy\222s Honourary Colonels Council is currently looking for members to become Honouaray Officers.

We are also looking for an Academy Regimental Sergeant Major and Drill Sergeant Major.

I was posted to Griesbach in the mid 1990's as a parachute rigger specialist(coin #197) with CFPMD. As you may know, CFB Griesbach was transfered over to Canada Lands Corporation to carry out a huge residential development covering the entirety (620 acres+) of the old base. Very quickly the old infrastructure (i.e. original roads, buildings, barracks, PMQ's, the DB, CABC, CFPMD, the curling club, etc) are being demolished since 2000 to make place to new roads and homes. The problem with CFB Griesbach being demolished is that absolutely nothing can be found on the internet about its history.

AIRBORNE!

I WILL BE SURE ALWAYS!
