The Canadian Military Colleges Review Board has released its first report, which will be reviewed by the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces. The review board analyzed the costs, benefits, and disadvantages of educating naval and Officer cadets in the military colleges’ Regular Officer Training Plan and reviewed aspects such as education quality and military training. The report includes 49 recommendations, including maintaining the colleges’ status as undergraduate degree-granting institutions and revising aspects such as governance structures, authorities, activities, programs, and training. Additionally, the recommendations include changing the names of the colleges to Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston and Royal Military College of Canada, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and updating all branding and products in alignment with these changes.
