[modifier] Introduction
En tant que composante des Forces canadiennes, le Cadre des Instructeurs de Cadets a un insigne bien à lui. Comme la branche comprend des officiers des trois éléments (aviation, armée, marine), l'insigne comprend des éléments appartenant à chacun.
Chaque élément de la branche a son propre insigne, pour leurs couvre-chef, afin identifier l'officier en tant que membre de la section marine, armée ou aviation du CIC. Ceci était utile durant l'époque où le personnel des Forces canadiennes portait un uniforme vert commun. De nos jours, chaque élément des Forces canadiennes a son propre uniforme distinct.
[modifier] Insignes individuelle selon le corps d'armée
Comme mentionné plus haut, les officiers du CIC ont des insignes selon leur corps d'armée. Ces insignes sont tous basés sur une feuille d'érable et l'insigne qui représentw leur corps d'armée (air=aigle, armée=épées croisées, marine-ancre).
Voici les insignes des officiers CIC:
 CIC (Marine) |
 CIC (Armée) |
 CIC (Aviation) |
Les officiers CIC peuvent aussi acheter, sans frais pour la Couronne, des insignes en tissu s'il ne veulent pas utiliser l'insigne du CIC en métal. Des compagnies comme Joe Drouin Enterprises donne cette chance aux officiers du CIC.
Il existe deux grandeurs d'insignes brodés, la plus grande pour la casquette ou le chapeau de service, et la plus petite pour le béret ou le calot.
[modifier] Histoire des insignes du CIC
Avant l'unification des Forces canadiennes, le 1er février 1968, les officiers qui étaient responsables des différents acitivtés de cadet au Canada, portaient tous des insignes différents. Les officiers des cadets de la Marine et de l'aviation portaient les insignes de la Marine royale du Canada et de l'Aviation royale du Canada. Les officiers de cadets de l'Armée pourait l'insigne du Service des Cadets du Canada.

Pendant la partie précédente du 20ème siècle, des Corps de cadets de la Marine ont été commandés, formés, et administrés par les officiers des Cadets de la Marine qui ont porté l'uniforme de la Marine royale canadienne avec les insignes distingants leurs rangs. Ces officiers n'étaient pas des membres de la force régulière de la MRC, ni de la réserve, mais des civils en uniforme.
Les officiers des cadets de la Marine ont porté l'insigne de MRC ; cependant, tous les officiers des cadets de la Marine ont porté les insignes luxuriants qui étaient différents de ceux de la Marine royale canadienne, de la réserve de la MRC, et de la RCNVR (la Réserve volontaire de la MRC). Les insignes luxuriants des officiers des cadets de la Marine ont suivi le modèle du MRC, cependant, sans la courbure exécutive, la remplaçant avec une ancre.
Ceci est l'insigne de casquette pour les officiers de la MRC, et des cadets de la Marine:

Canada has undertaken the voluntary military training of its students for over 130 years. The students were at first formed into what were known as drill associations as long ago as 1862. These are considered the prototypes of the present day cadet corps. The official designation of cadet corps replaced that of drill association in 1898.
The first authority for adult instructors of cadets to hold military rank was promulgated in a special order on 21 December 1903. While employed in service to the cadet organization, instructors of army cadets held the rank of second lieutenant in the Militia. These officers were male school teachers at private boys' schools across Canada. On 1 May 1909, these officers were organized into the Corps of School Cadet Instructors (Militia), recognized as the forerunner of the Cadet Instructor Cadre of today.
On 1 May 1921, the Corps was disbanded in a process of reorganization. It reappeared on 1 January 1924 as the Cadet Services of Canada (Non-Permanent). After World War II, the Cadet Services of Canada (Non-Permanent) and a Civilian Instructional Cadre were established as the fifth sub-component of the Canadian Army. On 10 May 1956, the name was changed once again to the Cadet Services of Canada.
The badges of the Cadet Services of Canada are presented below, the first with the "King's Crown" and the second, with St. Edward's Crown, sometimes known as the "Queen's Crown."

The Air Cadet League of Canada was formed in 1940 and raised its first squadrons in 1941. The first air cadet unit was No. 1601 Air Force Cadet Corps, formed in Vancouver on April 13, 1939. It stands alone as being the only air cadet unit formed within the army cadet system. The corps was transferred to the new Air Cadet League in 1943. From the outset, the Air Cadet League enjoyed a partnership with the Royal Canadian Air Force, which enrolled Air Cadet instructors as commissioned officers. By the end of World War II, they had raised 374 squadrons with an enrolment of 29,000 air cadets.
In the beginning of the RC(Air)C history, air cadet officers were not members of the Royal Canadian Air Force, but civilians like sea cadet officers. They had to wear the same badges as their cadets.
This would change in the 1950s however. They would become commissioned RCAF reserve officers, and therefore, would wear the same uniform as the Royal Canadian Air Force, including their cap badge.

[modifier] Unification of the Canadian Forces, the early years
Upon unification, the three distinct officer cadres were amalgamated to form the Cadet Instructors List (CIL), a sub-component of the Reserve (circa 1968-71). On 20 July 1994, the CIL was redesignated the Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC).
During this period, according to the CIC history book, Par dévouement, CIC officers did not receive the new Canadian Forces green uniform like other members of the Canadian Forces. Therefore, until the mid 1970s, officers still wore all sorts of uniforms: the RCN pattern uniform; the former Cadet Services of Canada pattern uniform; the RCAF pattern uniform; or some officer would buy the new CF greens, however, wearing the old badges, or new branch badges of the Canadian Forces.
[modifier] Creation of the CIC cap badge
By the mid-1970s, by a push of the new Army Cadet League of Canada (created in 1971), the Queen (with the recommendation of D Cdts and the ceremonial directorate of the CF) approved the new badge of the Cadet Instructors List. It was a maple leaf, with St. Edward's Crown, the fouled anchor, two crossed swords, and eagle.
This badge also came with collar badges that were created for each element.
This badge was unpopular with CIC officers, and was called the "big cookie". A few years later, the new badges of the CIC came into effect, distinct from one element to another.
In 1988, the CIC branch would ask whether the insignia of the CIC had been approved by the Queen. They argued that they were based on the old collar badges which had been approved by the Queen. The conclusion of this story was that the badge would have been approved because they have been in use for about 10 years.
Lastly, it would seem that the CIC might change its branch badge in the future. It seems that this badge has been proposed:
CIC officers will have to see whether in the future, there will be a change with their badges, for a common, CIC badge, seeing that now, CIC officers do not need to have distinct badges because they are all wearing the uniform of their element, and this new proposed badge would look more like a branch badge of the Canadian Forces.
