RMC 150th homepage

2026 will mark 150 years of operation of the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) as well as the service and contribution of its graduates to our country.

Since June 1876, over 20,000 naval and officer cadets of RMC have graduated from the Regular Officer Training Plan and the University Training Plan for Non-Commissioned Members, over 5,000 Canadian and international military students from Graduate Studies and over 1,000 other Canadians completed bachelor’s degrees, thanks to the staff and faculty of the internationally recognized military academy for its research.

These graduates continue to contribute and lead in varied ways around the world, and their leadership is deeply ingrained in Canada’s international legacy.

Today’s graduates represent the diversity of modern Canada and remain anchored in the timeless values of ‘Truth, Duty, Valour’ embedded in the Canadian military ethos and the motto of this proud institution.

The sesquicentennial of RMC will provide an opportunity to reflect on the College’s contributions nationally and internationally.

It will enable the celebration of its evolution as a strong, proud, equitable, diverse, and inclusive national institution, where we strive to instill the Canadian Armed Forces ethos and values to the next generation of leaders.
