Who We Are
Objectives
RLMI is primarily an association of officers and ex-officers of the
Canadian Forces formed for the purpose of:
- keeping its members informed on current military affairs and developments;
- supporting the Canadian Forces (Regular Force and Reserve) in the
preservation of their traditions and the development of their capacity to
fulfill their roles; and
- acting as a link between the CF and the general public so that the role
and requirements for adequate armed forces can be enhanced and better
understood.
RLMI supports the military interest of Canadian youth
through prizes to the many Cadet Corps located in the western Ontario region.
Membership

Commonwealth Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and retired or

the Commonwealth. Some Institutes operate their own club with dining and/or
accommodation facilities. Enquiries about reciprocal privileges should be made
to a member of the executive.

military or regional history to relevant economic and political

on a Monday two or three times a year. The topics are of a more general nature
