Orders of Dress

Cadets are expected to wear different Orders of Dress depending on each situation.  You don’t want to dress the same for sports or a survival exercise as you would for a ceremonial parade. Cadets are expected to take good care of their issued uniform and wear it proudly. 

When authorized by the training establishment Commanding Officer (CO), cadets may wear their uniform while attending non-cadet ceremonies or functions when appropriate. The prescribed uniform shall adhere to the standard established in the Cadet and Junior Canadian Rangers (CJCR) – Dress and Appearance view here.

The cadet must ensure that they maintain a high standard of appearance view here for these occasions and represent the CO in a good manner. Cadets are personally responsible for the cleaning and control of all items of uniform clothing and accoutrements issued to them.

CO’s Parade

Uniform: Ceremonial Dress C1A Blues with Whites (if applicable) and medals.
