Tradition | Significance |
---|---|
blanket toss | Blanket toss of senior class members after the last waltz at the Graduation Ball. |

cake walk | Minstrel show/stage show on St. Patrick's Day is rewarded by a cake. |
Casey's Grave | Cadets are expected to recite, on demand from seniors, RMC facts and trivia (no longer practiced, nor required). This inscription is a favourite: "Casey, for 18 years my faithful charger in peace and war. Died on duty April 2nd 1925 age 29 yrs. A.C. Macdonell". |
ceremonial mace | Carried into the ceremony and placed on stage to signal the opening of the convocation. |
change of command ceremony | The former commandant offers farewell and best wishes to the college and to the new Commandant. The new commandant accepts a first salute as the cadet wing marches past.[2] |
Christening bell | Following naval tradition, a ship's bell is used as a baptism font in the college chapel for christenings and the names of the children are later inscribed on the bell. The ship's bell at RMC was used previously at Royal Roads Military College. |
Church parade | Officer cadets participate in a full regalia parade from RMC to Kingston City Hall on the last Sunday of the academic year. The intent is to have every available cadet take part. In the past, the church parade was from RMC to St. George's Cathedral (Kingston, Ontario). |
Copper Sunday | In a tradition dating to 1882, Officer cadets attend various Kingston churches on the last Sunday of the academic year. While RMC does not to influence cadets toward any particular religion, the goal is to expose the cadets to the typical processes and procedures of religious ceremony, should they need to carry out Assisting Officer duties in the future. The name comes from the custom of cadets gathering their pennies for collection into the offering plate. |
College Cheer | The RMC Cheer is used at all significant sporting events between RMC Paladins and other university teams. Call: Gimme a beer! Response: Beer! Esses! Emma! T-D-V! Who can stop old RMC! Shrapnel, cordite, NCT! R-M-C! |
College Coin | Every new officer cadet is issued a challenge coin upon completion of First Year Orientation Period. The coin is engraved with the name of the college in French and English surrounding the college crest on the obverse. The Cadet's college number and the Memorial Arch are on the reverse surrounded by the motto in both languages. |
college toast | RMC club toast to absent comrades, meaning those who have fallen in action or who have died. |
Divisional Christmas mess dinner | The youngest cadet of the division makes a short speech, requesting one holiday wish from the DCdts for the rest of the division; the wishes from the division dinners will make the exam period less stressful for the Cadet Wing (e.g. permission to wear combat uniforms while writing their exams). |
Drill Fest | During the weeks immediately following winter-term exams up until graduation, the wing practices for graduation parade multiple times a day seven days a week, often for up to six hours in blocks of three hours. |
Feux de Joie | An honour guard perform a rifle salute with field artillery, or more commonly, rifles using blank ammunition. |
Freedom of the City | This privilege was bestowed to the RMC in 1976 by City of Kingston on the occasion of its centenary to march through the city "with bayonets fixed, colours flying and drums beating" was granted "until such time as the Cataraqui runs dry." [3] |
Freedom of the fort | While in Fort Frederick (Kingston, Ontario), officer cadets are equal independently of their year. They are also allowed to remove their headgear. |
"Goodnight Saigon" | This song is played for and sung by first-year cadets at lights-out during the First-Year Orientation Period. |
Graduation Congratulations |
|
Graduation and Commissioning parade | In honour of graduating cadets:
|
Jacket exchange | The senior officer (the Commandant or the Director of Cadets) exchanges tunics with the youngest Officer Cadet at the annual RMC Christmas Dinner. The Christmas dinner follows the tradition from the army where senior officers serve the junior members who usually serve them throughout the year. |
Just passing By | When a graduate of the RMC pilots an aircraft in the vicinity of Kingston, Ontario he or she conducts an impromptu airshow over the College.[5] |
Memorial Arch | New officer-cadets pass through the Commemorative Arch as a class on their first day of university and upon graduation. Other than on Remembrance Day and in the course of other special parades (i.e. Battle of Britain), church parade, officer-cadets do not pass under the arch as a class before their graduation from college.[6] |
Memorial Arch architectural sculpture | A helmeted head stands in high-relief from the keystone. The face is extremely expressive and its parted lips seem to shout Rupert Brooke's poem, "The Dead".[6] |
Memorial Arch poem | Chiselled into the stone of the Memorial Arch are the opening lines of Rupert Brooke's poem, The Dead: "Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead. There are none of these so lonely and poor of old, but dying has made us rarer gifts than gold." First-year cadets are required to memorize the quote.[6] |
Memorial stairway | Sir Archibald Macdonell had the administration-building staircase lined with paintings of ex-cadets who died on military service. |
Memorial trees | The ex-cadets who died on military service during World War I are honoured by the birch trees located in the lawn at the west end of the Administration Building. |
obstacle course race | Gruelling course for recruits set up by the cadets' immediate predecessors, memorialized by a sculpture |
Old 18 | First-year cadets are required to memorize the names of the first class in the order of their college numbers.[7] |
Old 18 | A historical drill team at RMC who perform at the "Sunset Ceremony" (a military tattoo the night before the graduation parade). Eighteen cadets, dressed in formal scarlet uniforms and wielding late 19th-century Enfield rifles fend off an attack by cadets dressed as rebels using similar rifles of smaller caliber.[8] |
Old Guard | The founding members of the QCMG. Established by a select group of cadets sometime around 1989, the QCMG existed within the cadet population. Upon graduation, departing QCMG cadets would be responsible for selecting a suitably deserving first year cadet to take their place in guard, ensuring its survivability. However, only the founding members were ever referred to as the "Old Guard". |
Old Brigade | Alumni who entered military college 50+ years before wear unique berets and ties, have the Right of the Line on reunion weekend memorial parades, and present the college cap badge to the First Year cadets on the First Year Badging Parade. Each class traditionally marks its 50-year anniversary and entry into the Old Brigade with a gift. |
Parade square | Recruits run the square at all times until they have successfully completed their first year. (no longer practiced, nor required) |
Road and area names | Sir Archibald Macdonell gave Great War names to all the roads and areas of RMC. |
Royal winers | Unofficial Department of Oenology at RMC cofounded by Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk; motto: "Age leaves us fine wines and friends." [9] |
shouldering professors | At closing exercises, cadets carried professors around the room. |
Sir John A Macdonald | An annual dinner held at RMC Senior Staff Mess, since 2001 featuring toasts and stories celebrating the birth of Canada's first Prime Minister.[10] |
Smokers | Social gatherings at RMC that raise money for an event, group, or charity through the collection of "cover" or admission at the door. Smokers can include performances, with shows presenting a collection of sketches and comedy songs. |
Snowball fight | Annual RMC snowball fight (all Sqns against #1 Sqn). |
Snow sculpture | Annual RMC snow sculpture competition in Confederation Park with Queen's. RMC's entry was modelled after the MacKenzie Building (2008) and the Memorial Arch (2007). |
Spider | A spider web based stained glass window, made by Stone Frigate Class of 1983 honours the squadron mascots, as spiders were common in the (pre-modernized) building. The window has a Plexiglas shield to avoid damage during annual snowball fight. |
Sunset ceremony | A military tattoo held the night before the graduation parade which demonstrates skills and interests cultivated at RMC.
The 2013 performances:
|
Sweetheart brooch | officer cadets gave their dates an enamel brooch in lieu of a corsage for formal dances at Christmas, RMC-West Point, and Graduation. The museum retains several examples. |
Wake up or Panic song | officer cadets have the duration of a song to get up, shave, make their beds, dress and stand for inspection. Tango Flight (7 Sqn)'s song in 1993 was "Happiness in Slavery", by Nine Inch Nails. Cartier Flight's wake up song was "Dead on Time" and they went to sleep to Corey Hart's "Never Surrender". Other popular songs include "O Fortuna" and "The Bodies Hit The Floor". |
War Memorial flag | Flag with Union Flag on background was adorned with 1100 green maple leaves bearing name of RMC cadets who served in war. The red maple leaves in the centre memorialized cadets who were killed in action. The flag hung in St. George's Cathedral until 1934, when the flag began to disintegrate. |

Currie Hall
![](../I/Coats_of_arms_of_Canada_on_Currie_Hall_Mackenzie_Building_Royal_Military_College_of_Canada.JPG.webp)
General Sir Arthur Currie officially opened Currie Hall at Royal Military College on 17 May 1922. General Sir Arthur Currie made the following comments, "I cannot tell you how utterly embarrassed and yet how inexpressibly proud I am to witness this ceremony, and to be present when this hall is officially opened. This hall is to commemorate the deeds of our fellow comrades whom it was my great honour and privilege to command during the latter years of the War." [15] The Currie Hall is decorated with the crests and battle colours of every unit that fought in France during World War I.
His Excellency John Ralston Saul (February 2004) described the Currie Hall decorations, "This is an astonishing hall in which to speak. If you gaze up at the initials on the ceiling and at the paintings and the painted insignia around the walls, you are reminded that Canada is not a new country."... "Militarily speaking, we have been at it for a long time. This hall is a conceptualisation of our participation in the First World War. All of that grandeur and tragedy is pulled together here in a remarkable way. I'm not sure that we could reproduce a hall of this sort to describe our military experiences of the last half century." [16]

The Memorial Arch, at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario, built in 1923, is a monument which honours the memory of ex-cadets who have died in combat or while attending the College. The Memorial Arch, designed by John M. Lyle, is an example of the Beaux-Arts architecture. Lyle's design won a competition in which seven Canadian architects were invited to compete. Leigh French singles out the Memorial Arch as "an outstanding example of coherent purpose and well considered form, unlike many of the war memorial projects that emerged immediately after World War I".[17] The Indiana limestone arch on a base of Quebec granite was built at a cost of $75,000.[18]
The arch was unveiled by Mrs. Joshua Wright, mother of two cadets who gave their lives in the First World War. #558 Major G.B. Wright, DSO, RCE, was killed in action in France on 21 May 1915. #814 Major J.S. Wright, 50th Bn CEF, was killed in action in France on 18 Nov 1916.[19]
The memorial includes the following texts:[20]
- Hark now the drums beat up again for all true Soldiers Gentlemen. from Over the Hills and Far Away (traditional)
- Je me souviens French I remember
- Truth Duty Valour
- Blow out your bugles over the rich dead. There's none of these so lonely and poor of old but dying has made us rarer gifts than gold. by Rupert Brooke
- Pro Deo et Patrio, Latin for God and Country
The RMC Memorial Arch provides a list of officer cadets who were killed in action or died from wounds suffered in action under the following headings:[20]
- The Emin Pasha Relief Expedition 1887–90,
- West Africa 1892,
- South Africa 1899–1901,
- Great War 1914-1918 battles: Mons, Marne, Aisne, Ypres, Festubert, Loos, Somme, Vimy, Kut el Amara, Gallipoli, Hill 70, Passchendaele, Cambrai, Amiens, Arras, Drocourt-Quéant, Canal du Nord.
- World War II battles: Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, Burma, Dieppe, Hong Kong, Lombardy Plain, Normandy.
- Active service 1926-1945: India, 1926, North Africa, North West Germany, The Pacific, Pas de Calais, The Rhine, Sicily, Southern Italy.
Two bronze plaques on the flanking plinths of the Arch, which were unveiled by the Governor General on 15 September 1949, commemorates the fallen from World War II. As required, names of those lost in Korea and on peacekeeping and other military operations have been added.
