The CME Association counts members from throughout the CME family.
It was formed in November 2000 and its objectives
include: |
| |
 |
To enhance the effectiveness of Canada's military engineering capability,
and to promote continued excellence in the development
of military engineering, and to foster an interest in
all aspects of military engineering. |
|
To preserve the history of Canada's military engineering practitioners,
to honour their customs, traditions and heritage, and
to commemorate their achievements and sacrifice. |
|
To encourage effective communication and close association amongst
all serving and former members of the Canadian Military
Engineers (herein referred to as the "CME"), its predecessors,
and its associated civilians and organisations. |
|
To facilitate the well-being of all Association members , and to respond
promptly and with effect to assist the welfare of members
and their families as needed. |
|
To enhance the position of the CME as both an operational and an operational
support component of the Canadian Armed Forces, and accordingly,
to enhance opportunities for members of the CME within
both the Canadian Armed Forces and Canadian society in
general. |
|
To co-operate with other organisations that address Canada's strategic
and national security interests, and to advise the Government
of Canada, through the Minister of National Defence, on
matters that involve military engineering. |
