On this #GlobalEthicsDay, themed "Ethics Empowered", it is a great occasion to remind ourselves collectively of our fundamental Defence Team duty and principle to Respect the dignity of all persons.
This #LGBTHistoryMonth is the 30th anniversary of the end of the LBGT Purge. Activism has advanced the #2SLGBTQI communities’ rights across the Government of Canada since then, and history is still in the making for the Defence Team: canada.ca/en/department-nati…
The DND and CF Code of Values and Ethics sets the standard for how we, as Defence Teams members, are expected to behave.
If we all focus on the overarching principle, Respect the dignity of all persons, we’ll be a stronger organization. canada.ca/en/department-nati…
On the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and every day, we strive to be bold and create brave spaces where conversations that empower real change can take place. #FightRacism#IDERD

February marks #BlackHistoryMonth. The #CAF acknowledges the enormous contributions that Black Canadians have made in uniform for 200 years, and continue to this day. This month, we’ll share some of their stories as their strengths reflect those of our nation.
COVID-19 has affected every aspect of our lives, and our #MentalHealth is no exception. Don’t struggle alone. Often, reaching out for help or just dialing a number is the hardest part, but resources are always available when you’re ready.
#BellLetsTalk
Together, we can raise awareness about mental health, fight against the stigma that surrounds it, and show solidarity with those in our Defence community who may be struggling with #MentalHealth.
Not just today, but every day.
