Respect for Diversity

The Canadian military is one of the most highly trained and respected forces in the world. Above all, the Canadian Forces value strength of character and team contributions. This means that regardless of your son or daughter’s gender, religion or ethnicity, the Canadian Forces invite them to be a part of its team and to explore the opportunities it has to offer.

 

The Canadian Forces has taken great strides in safeguarding the equality of women. By adopting a “no exclusion policy,” it has become one of the only militaries in the world to remove all barriers to full and equal service for its women members. This means that women have the opportunity to work at any job in the Canadian Forces.

 

As the makeup of the Canadian population has changed, so has the Canadian Forces. By adopting non-exclusion policies and adapting uniform standards to accommodate various beliefs and practices, the Canadian Forces is committed to reflecting Canada’s unique diversity.
