Messes

Messes provide the environment for all CF and foreign members to promote the traditions and values of Canadian Forces duty. They promote courage, teamwork, discipline, and honour.

Messes serve to perpetuate the military ethos in the profession of arms and are an instrument of socialization to the members and their families. Messes foster morale in both peace and war. Members who choose to take an active role in the life of their mess find it one of the most special and rewarding aspects of military life.
