    Fire Cadet Handbook 2020-2021 Copyright © 2020 The City of Calgary. All rights reserved. Use subject to license. ISC: Protected. Fire Cadet Handbook Fire Chief’s Message The cadet program provides exceptional growth opportunities to young people who are fortunate enough to be chosen to participate in it. This program is about taking life skills, and combining them with Fire Department, values, training and culture to develop strong, competent leaders of tomorrow. I’ve seen the transformation of individuals who have come through this program in the past and it has been amazing. Although the Fire Cadet Program is designed to promote good citizenship rather than train prospective firefighters, many cadets have gone on to become members of the Calgary Fire Department. Others have become police officers, paramedics, emergency services dispatchers, or firefighters in other communities. The majority, however, become leaders who fulfill many important roles in their communities. Good citizenship is the foundation of firefighting. When you wear the cadet uniform, you are taking on part of the image of the Calgary Fire Department. You and the Department will be judged by how you behave. Wear your uniform wisely, but more importantly, wear your uniform proudly. We are happy that you chose to affiliate yourself with the Calgary Fire Department through this great program. We know that you will find it an enriching experience as you become leaders and role models in the community. The cadet program is about having fun and learning, first-hand about the Calgary Fire Department. It’s also about teaching and perpetuating our values – Pride, Professionalism, Teamwork and Respect.
