CSTC HMCS Quebec

Cadet Summer Training Centre HMCS "Québec" (CSTC HMCS "Québec") is a Royal Canadian Sea Cadets summer training centre, more commonly known by its French language name as le Centre d'instruction d'été des cadets de la Marine NCSM "Québec" (CIEC NCSM "Québec").

History

The unit derives its name from warship|HMCS|Quebec|C66.

The cadet summer training centre was founded in Farnham in 1976 as CSTC HMCS "Québec" by Commander Émilien Paradis. His dream was to see the creation of a cadet summer training centre for Royal Canadian Sea Cadets in the province and offering a Francophone training programme for its members. HMCS "Québec" remains the only CSTC for Francophone sea cadets.

CSTC HMCS "Québec" moved in 1981 from Farnham to the Sainte-Angèle-de-Laval sector of Bécancour, Québec, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River opposite Trois-Rivières. HMCS "Québec" offers the opportunity for young people to rise to challenges with all activities planned and supervised by approximately 100 staff, including officers of the Cadet Instructor Cadre of the Canadian Forces, civilian instructors, non-commissioned members of the Canadian Forces, and about 120 senior Staff Cadets.
