The Canadian Forces Land Advanced Warfare Centre (CFLAWC) is a Canadian Forces training facility located at CFB Trenton in Trenton, Ontario, Canada. It is commonly abbreviated as CFLAWC. It was formerly known as the Canadian Parachute Centre, but was renamed and expanded to become a "Centre of Excellence" for the Canadian Army. The new name is supposed to better reflect its specialized training capabilities. It is designated as a centre of excellence for winter, desert and jungle warfare, as well as a subset of amphibious warfare. It remains the Canadian Forces' centre of excellence for parachuting and the Army's centre of excellence for aerial delivery, helicopter and mountain operations and rappelling. [http://www.rockymountainrangers.ca/?p=eductraining] CFLAWC conducts the Patrol Pathfinder course, the toughest in the Canadian Army. It also conducts Parachutist and mountain operations courses.
The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada is the only airborne unit in the Primary Reserve. As a result, they have a special mandate to provide support to CFLAWC in the form of jumpmasters, parachute riggers, and instructors.

The SkyHawks Parachute Team is a sub-unit of CFLAWC.
