A new draft plan by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to create a more “gender inclusive” dress code includes permitting men or women in uniform to don face tattoos, fake nails, jewelry and dyed hair while on service.
True North has exclusively obtained a presentation by the Department of National Defence titled “Canadian Armed Forces Dress Instructions proposal to reflect a more inclusive culture.”
The plan purports to be “safe, operationally effective, inclusive and reflective of societal norms and expectations.”
If adopted there would be one standard guideline for all CAF members from recruitment to release.
On the issue of face tattoos, the CAF writes that “tattoos are permitted on the face as long as they conform to the regulations outlined in Section 2- Appearance.” The section prohibits members from having tattoos associated with criminal or hate groups.
Proposed changes on hair could include “no length restriction, no restrictions on colours and all styles of facial hair and sideburns (will be) authorized.”
“Yes, the colouring of hair is permitted in all orders of dress unless it inhibits an operational duty. For example, bright coloured hair may have a negative operational impact during field operations/training. Leaders are invited to discuss with their members (and) find a simple suitable accommodation, such as a scarf to cover the hair,” a FAQ portion of the presentation describes.
