The Canadian Armed Forces will soon adopt a gender-neutral dress code for service members as military commanders push for more diversity in the ranks. Men and women in uniform are currently subject to separate dress codes that include the types of clothing they can wear as well as hair styles and other aspects of their appearance.
The new gender-neutral standard will give members more choices while ensuring they are still dressed safely and appropriately for their duties, said Maj.-Gen. Lise Bourgon, the acting chief of military personnel.
