With the end of the Second World War and the closing out of its War Services operations, the Navy was again able to turn its attention to its primary objectives; continued support of youth training and promoting a knowledge of Maritime Affairs. The minimum age limit of the Sea Cadets having been set at 14 years, there was felt to be a need for an organization to cater to interested boys under that limit. Thus in 1948, the Navy League established the Navy League Cadet Corps for younger boys. This development was followed in 1950 by the establishment of the Navy League Wrenette Corps for young ladies. Wrenettes have since become integrated in most cases with Sea Cadet and Navy League Cadet Corps. 1, record 1, English, - Navy%20League%20Wrenette%20Corps

The Navy League Wrennette Corps was formed by the Navy League of Canada in 1950 as a cadet organisation for girls to complement the Navy League Cadet Corps of Canada. It had similar objectives to the boys' organisation, and taught girls seamanship. The old Wrennettes organisation is now a part of the Navy League Cadet Corps: The Term "Cadet" is used to refer to both male and female cadets. The term Wrennette is no longer used for female cadets except in a historical sense. The term Cadet is not meant to be gender specific. 2, record 1, English, - Navy%20League%20Wrenette%20Corps

Avec la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et la fermeture de son service de guerre, la Ligue navale peut enfin se consacrer à son objectif principal : appuyer la formation de la jeunesse et faire la promotion des Affaires maritimes. Comme l'âge minimal pour faire partie des cadets de la Marine est de 14 ans et qu'on voit la nécessité de regrouper les garçons plus jeunes, la Ligue navale fonde, en 1948, le Corps des cadets de la Ligue navale. En 1950, elle fonde ensuite le Corps des cadettes de la Ligue navale du Canada. Aujourd'hui, les cadettes sont intégrées dans la plupart des corps de cadets de la Marine et de la Ligue navale. 2, record 1, French, - Corps%20des%20cadettes%20de%20la%20Ligue%20navale
