Canadian Forces

Okay kiddo, so the Canadian Forces are a group of people who protect Canada and Canadians. They are made up of three different branches: 1) the army which has soldiers who fight on land, 2) the navy which has sailors who protect Canada's waters and 3) the air force which has pilots who fly planes to keep our skies safe.

The Canadian Forces are kinda like superheroes because they have super cool abilities and skills that they use to keep us safe. They wear special uniforms and use special equipment that helps them do their jobs better.

Sometimes the Canadian Forces go on missions overseas to help other countries in need or to fight a war. But mostly they focus on protecting Canada and Canadians at home.

People who want to join the Canadian Forces have to go through training to prepare them for their job. They have to be very strong, smart and determined to be able to do what the Canadian Forces do.

So, in short, the Canadian Forces are a group of strong and determined people that protect Canada and Canadians from harm by land, sea and air.
