Red Blazer

Several of our Vancouver Division Association members have asked about the necessity or requirement to purchase a RCMP Veterans’ Association red blazer.

Nationally, the RCMP Veterans’ Association has been encouraging members to purchase and wear the red blazer.  For the Vancouver Division, our Executive Committee has taken the position of a less formal dress code for our socials, luncheons and dinners.

For these occasions, members are encouraged to attend these functions in business casual dress with the exception of the Annual Levee.

For the Levee, we encourage members and guests to wear: blazer, sports jacket or similar attire.

For our Division, members are encouraged to purchase and wear the red blazer if they are:

1) on the Division’s Executive Committee; or

2) attending the Veterans’ Association Annual General Meeting; or

3) on the Division’s Ceremonial Troop; or

4) on the Division’s Honour Guard.

You can purchase a Red Blazer through Derks Uniforms, in Edmonton, Alberta.  Visit their Website

We will supply the Veterans Crest for $35.00 (buyer to attach), buttons for $10.00 and tie for $25.00 if ordered at the same time.
