Canadian Army Cadet Centennial 1867-1967 Armband Brassard

The Canadian Army Cadet Centennial 1867-1967 Armband Brassard is a commemorative piece issued to mark the centennial of Canadian Confederation and the corresponding 100th anniversary of the Canadian Army Cadet program. Constructed from green cloth, the rectangular brassard features prominently embroidered gold lettering stating “Canadian Army Cadet Centennial 1867-1967.” This armband would have been worn by members of the Army Cadets during centennial celebrations and related events in 1967. Designed for attachment to the upper arm, it typically includes stitched loops or fasteners to secure it to a uniform. Such items were distributed in limited numbers and serve as period-specific insignia representing both Canadian military youth history and the national centennial. Due to their short period of issuance and the significant anniversary they represent, these brassards are notable among collectors of Canadian military insignia and 20th-century commemorative military artifacts.
