The Canadian Armed Forces chaplain service submitted an Oct. 29, 2024 briefing to Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan. The briefing outlines a summary of assessments by military chaplains about the current welfare of the Canadian Armed Forces.
It contains this paragraph:
“The poor conditions of many Singles Quarters (SQs) at Bases and Wings have led to significant discomfort and dissatisfaction among personnel. This situation negatively impacts morale, as inadequate living conditions can diminish overall well-being and motivation.”
This has been an ongoing problem for years. The last Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre didn’t do anything about the problem. Maybe CDS Gen. Carignan will?
Here are some photos taken by the soldiers themselves of their living conditions on the bases:
