On September 3, 2018, the Class of 2022 competed in the annual First Year Regatta. The race requires First Year officer cadets to hop into canoes and race around buoys half-way across Navy Bay. The regatta is a great event for squadron spirit as all the upper years get to cheer the newest members of their squadrons. about the March through the Arch
On 29 August 2018, RMC Training Wing Staff work hard together to pull the truck. The RMC Training Wing staff and Fourth Year officer cadets did a “Dry Run” of the obstacle course to test the working order of the obstacles. The purpose of this is to ensure the safety and proper working order of each obstacle. This event also acts as a group-building exercise for new and old Training Wing Staff and serves as a last “hoorah” for the Fourth Years who will be graduating at the end of the academic year. The actual Obstacle Course by first year officer cadets will take place on Sept 14, as part of RMC Reunion Weekend.

On September 1, 2018, RMC First Year officer cadets participated in the Warrior Race: a competition that is designed to build teamwork and cohesion. Here they face, The Wall. The Wall is a challenging obstacle and the hallmark of the RMC obstacle course. This obstacle is the ultimate test of the flight’s ability to work as a team and to help each other to accomplish a difficult task. They must work to get their entire team over the twelve foot wall as quickly as possible and in a manner of utmost safety. It is necessary to have a solid plan, coordination, and teamwork to achieve victory over the Wall.
Johnathan Ardell of the men's soccer team and Glenn Butler of the men's rugby team are the RMC Co-Athletes of the Week. Butler came to RMC as a highly touted recruit, and the rookie didn't disappoint. With a try, a penalty kick, and four conversions, he contributed 16 points to the Paladins 41-17 victory over Toronto.
Ardell made a combined 23 saves to give the Paladins their first back-to-back wins since 2014, beating Trent and UOIT on the road. Ardell was also named the OUA Investors Group Athlete of the Week, powered by Planters.

Did you know? In 1964, the Dean of Arts at the time, Colonel, the Honourable F.G. Stanley, first suggested to then Member of Parliament for Leeds, Colonel the Honourable John R. Matheson, that the Royal Military College flag should form the basis for the national flag of Canada.

Colonel Stanley proposed that within the centre of the flag should be a single red maple leaf instead of the college emblem, which was a mailed fist holding a sprig of green maples leaves.
