Yes. Your enrollment fee includes premiums paid toward the Sea Cadet Group Accident and Health Protection Plan. This is our insurance plan, designed to keep you covered in the low likelihood of something happening during a cadet-sponsored training event. It is important to us that the membership fees are minimal in order to be accessible to as many people as possible.
As of 1 January 2014, annual enrollment fees are: $60/year per each NSCC/NLCC cadet; $20/year per officer/midshipman/instructor not on active duty; $15/year per officer/midshipman/instructor on active duty. Some units may also charge an additional administrative fee.
Annual enrollment fees are based on four factors: cost of program operation and administration by NHQ; cost of group accident and health premium; cost of liability insurance premium; and funding of each Regional Directors’ allowance.
