Hey everyone, anyone here in the Cdn armed forces? I got a question about the local Canex near me at CFB Kingston. I'm in need of new cross-trainers shoes and dropped by today and saw a nice pair by Reebok and you can't beat the price. I saw great prices on athletic clothing as well, so my question is: can anyone shop there or is it open to members of the armed forces only? I saw Canex offers a barber service as well and since I get buzz cuts all the time, might as well get a haircut there. I like the fact that majority of all the profits made by Canex go back to the families of soldiers to offer all sorts of services to families of soldiers. I emailed them and asked the same question. Just wanted to check here first, if anyone here knows the answer.
If it's open to everyone, that would be awesome, I used to go shop all the time at CFB Ottawa as an air cadet (haircuts, tailor services, cadet clothing equipment, etc...)

Thanks.

Same. As far as I know anyone can shop there. When I was in they would let you do a payment plan for an item but that was for Military only. I know US Military stores you have to show Military ID but it's not like that in Canada.

Sweet, thank you for the replies. I'm in a bad need of those new cross-training shoes quick and since the Canex helps Cdn soldiers and their families, might as well go do all my shopping there.
What a great idea the Canex is! WOOT! :hu

Hey BrownDevil, are you still in the PPCLI?
