The RCAF received its first two CF35As yesterday at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.

The future of air and space power is built on more than equipment alone. We are developing the skilled people, integrated capabilities, and modern tools we need to meet future challenges at home and abroad.

From our family to yours, thank you 🇨🇦❤️

We are deeply moved by the support Canadians across the country have shown for our fallen and injured soldiers. On Wednesday, as 3 PPCLI soldiers returned to their garrison in Edmonton, Albertans lined the highway to show their support.

🏉 October 23. Remember the date.

For the first time ever, the CAF Women's Rugby Team will face the British Army Women.

Two nations. Two forces. Allies who have stood side by side for generations, now meeting as opponents on the pitch.

These athletes balance service and sport, and they have earned their jerseys the hard way. On October 23, they play for each other, for their uniform, and for every woman who laces up after them.

This is the highest-profile Canadian Armed Forces rugby match in a generation. Be there when it happens.

đź“… Friday, October 23
đź•’ Kickoff: 3:15 p.m.
📍 TD Place Stadium, Ottawa

🎟️ One ticket, two matches: every Rugby Canada ticket includes access to the military match.

Hosted in partnership with Rugby Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

🏉 23 octobre. Retenez bien cette date.

Pour la toute première fois, l’équipe féminine de rugby des FAC - Cafwrugby - affrontera l’équipe féminine de l’armée britannique.

Deux nations. Deux forces armées. Des alliées qui se tiennent côte à côte depuis des générations, et qui s’affrontent désormais sur le terrain.

Ces athlètes concilient service militaire et sport, et elles ont gagné leur maillot à la sueur de leur front. Le 23 octobre, elles joueront les unes pour les autres, pour leur maillot, et pour toutes les femmes qui enfileront leurs crampons après elles.

Il s’agit du match de rugby des Forces armées canadiennes le plus médiatisé depuis une génération. Soyez au rendez-vous.

đź“… Vendredi 23 octobre
🕒 Coup d’envoi : 15 h 15
📍 Stade TD Place, Ottawa
