In 1984, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada.[4] In 1997, he was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. A trail in Oakville has been named in his honour running along the town's waterfront where Cain trained.[5]

Cain taught Physical Education at St. Mildred's-Lightbourn School until 2014.[5][6] He then worked as a coach, preparing paddlers for the Olympic Games in Rio.[6]

In 2016 Cain founded an online paddle-training company called Paddle Monster for standup paddleboarding.[7] Cain also coached High Performance Canoeing at Burloak Canoe Club.[8]
