Gaming & ESports

The first of its kind for the Canadian Armed Forces, the RCAF Centennial Team is proud to launch RCAF Game Force – a series of Esports and Gaming tournaments. Open to the Canadian public, participants will have the opportunity to connect and compete with RCAF Members both here at home and abroad.

Moderate gaming can be a positive way to connect with others and create a virtual community while action games can enhance the ability to learn new cognitive tasks. RCAF Game Force tournaments provide a forum to build leadership, cooperation and resiliency competing in a public space. If you are up to the challenge, join us, and put your skills to the test at one of the many upcoming events. You may just have the opportunity to earn some unique rewards.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to inspire youth and promote RCAF teamwork, belonging and resiliency through healthy levels of participation in Esports and gaming. Strive to reduce barriers to play and promote the positive impact of Esports on mental, spiritual, familial, social, financial, and physical (total wellness).
