4-Week Fitness Tracking – OVERDUE
As part of the Cadet Program, we aim to promote physical fitness and healthy living. This 4-week activity tracking is part of the new level program to help encourage a healthy, active lifestyle. Cadets are required to participate in order to pass their level and an entry must be added for each day even if no intentional physical activity was completed.
Cadets should submit a response for each day whether or not they did any activity.
These are past due and there are still cadets who have not entered any responses. Everyone should have already entered a response for every day for the last 4 weeks. This is a requirement to pass your level.

CAF Tech Talks
‘Tech Talks’ is an interactive online CAF Engagement presentation that features CAF members in their workplace. These episodes provide a general awareness of the many CAF occupations not normally seen in the popular media. Cadets can log-in from their corps/sqn, or on their own devices, for an introduction to, and interaction with, some of the many technicians that keep our ships afloat, soldiers on the ground, and aircraft in the sky.

Cadet 365 Accounts
Cadet 365 is a cadet office account that allows cadets access to Microsoft products free of charge. This includes giving them access to Teams where various communications and resources are provided.
All cadets have been issued a Cadet 365 account and credentials were provided previously for existing cadets and will be provided to all new cadets upon enrolment. All cadets need to log into and finish setting up their accounts.
Once set up, cadets also need to complete the Cyber Security Awareness course. Once your account is set up, the course can be accessed by searching the home page or via this link https://cjcr365.sharepoint.com/sites/cyber
These accounts are becoming increasingly important and it is required for multi-unit Area Directed Activities from September-June, summer camps, and other training opportunities throughout the year as online courses and communication come through this account. Cadets cannot participate in Area Directed Activities or summer training without a valid Cadet 365 account.
If you need assistance setting up your account or require your login credentials, see an officer on Monday night. You can also contact the Helpdesk at 1-855-252-8082 for technical support.
Step by step procedure to complete the initial onboarding and FAQ for cadets are available on Canada.ca.
