The Canadian military is one of the most highly trained and respected forces in the world. Above all, the Canadian Armed Forces values strength of character and team contributions. This means that regardless of your gender, religion or ethnicity, the Canadian Armed Forces invites you to be a part of its team and to explore the opportunities it has to offer.

The Canadian Armed Forces has also taken great strides in safeguarding the equality of women. By adopting a “no exclusion policy,” it has become one of the only militaries in the world to remove all barriers to full and equal service for all its members. This means that women have the opportunity to work any job in the Canadian Armed Forces.

CSS Trades are in search of applicants who are already trained automotive or heavy duty mechanics that want to diversify their experience or new untrained applicants that want to utilize the Reserve to develop their civilian careers. As a Vehicle Technician, you will train as part-time soldier and learn how to conduct repairs on all things mechanical in the Forces. Additional training is available which will prepare you to work on large trucks and armoured vehicles. The Army Reserve works with the Alberta Apprenticeship Board so your new skills are transferrable. If you are already a Red Seal Mechanic and are available for Basic Training this summer, you may be moved ahead in the queue.

We are located at Debney Armoury, 8403 Roper Road in Edmonton. Regular training is from September to May on Wednesday evenings, one Saturday a month and one weekend a month. 41 Service Battalion schedules Information Briefs at the Armoury.

Not a Movie

What you see in the movies is not what the Canadian Armed Forces is all about. You will learn how to push yourself physically and mentally to new heights. You will learn how to work as a cohesive team to achieve assigned tasks. You will be taught basic military skills like preparing your uniform, military drill, camouflage, map & compass, service rifles, hand grenades and NATO Orders Format. You will be taught how to survive in the cold and the heat. You will learn skills specific to your Trade. You will be tested. You will be cold or tired sometimes and often both. You will learn how to instruct, mentor, lead, plan and manage. To become a “citizen soldier”, a “weekend warrior”, a Reservist, takes commitment, loyalty, training and effort. As a result, the Canadian Armed Forces is renowned for being a well-trained, effective force in domestic, humanitarian and combat operations.

Our next Information Brief is scheduled for Saturday the 8th of April at 11:00 a.m. in the Debney Armoury at 8403 Roper Rd. Parking is available on the East or West side of the building.
