Evaluation Summary - Community Cadets Corps (CCC) Program /

The program’s structure was influenced by the core principles underlying the theory of the Circle of Courage1. [...] The Hobbema CCC program, since funding was re-instated in November 2010, has emphasized the drill component and large games activities, has partially delivered the cultural component and has not formally developed or delivered any aspect of the life skills component of the CCC program. [...] The human resources available for the Kahkewistahaw First Nation Community were adequate in terms of management committee involvement and all staff positions with the exception of the 6 See Appendix A for detailed overview of CCC program outputs by project site. [...] For the Kahkewistahaw First Nation Community CCC program and the Touchwood Agency Tribal Council CCC program, the main partnership was with the RCMP officers who helped with the ‘drill instruction’ component, and in certain instances, they assisted in chaperoning some of the field trips. [...] There were positive perceptions of the program by youth and parents, and it appeared to address a need in the community – the apparent lack of positive alternative social and recreational activities.
