Description: The design features a large, detailed Canadian maple leaf acting as the structural background frame. Superimposed over the leaf is a comprehensive collection of tri-service military symbols, combining a central anchor wrapped in naval rope, a swooping air force eagle with outspread wings, and a pair of crossed army swords pointing upward. A prominent St. Edward's Crown rests gracefully at the top vertex of the maple leaf to signify official royal patronage. The reverse side of the badge is completely unmarked and features a solid vertical slider tab designed to slip securely into the front band of a uniform hat.
Circa: From 1968
Notes:
This emblem belongs specifically to the Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC), a specialized branch of the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve tasked with administering the Sea, Army, and Air Cadet organizations.
