Value

Indigenous cultural activities and basic military training.

Description

Are you an Indigenous person living in Canada? Interested in a challenging summer experience that delivers hands-on skills development, encourages teamwork, provides physical fitness training and promotes cultural awareness?

If so, Black Bear is the program for you! This unique summer training program combines Indigenous culture and teachings with military training that will help you develop valuable skills such as self-confidence, self-discipline, teamwork, time management, respect and fitness.

The six-week program is conducted from the first week of July to mid-August each year at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown, in New Brunswick. During this time, you are enrolled as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) as a Primary Reservist. Upon completion of the program, you can choose to remain in the CAF (as a Regular Force member, a Reserve Force member or a Canadian Ranger) or to be released from service (no obligation for continued service).

Eligible Applicants

To be eligible for the Black Bear program, you must:

  • Be First Nation, Métis or Inuit (status not required);
  • Be 16 years of age or older;
  • Have completed Grade 10; and
  • Be a Canadian citizen.

Eligible Expenses

During the program, we will provide you with:

  • Meals and accommodation;
  • Military clothing and equipment to use during the training;
  • Transportation from home to the training location and back home; and

If you live near a Primary Reserve unit, you can, upon graduation, transfer to that unit to continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) when you return to your community. You can also transfer into the Regular Force or into a Canadian Ranger Patrol Group. Serving full-time or part-time are excellent career options and a chance to further your service in the CAF, should you choose this route.

Deadline Date

Open and closes. The CAF starts taking applications at the beginning of September each year.
