A change of command ceremony, where Karignan will be formally assigned to the top job, is scheduled for July 18.

Lieutenant General Jenny Carignan will be appointed as Canada’s Chief of the Defense Staff, the first woman to hold this post. This was reported by CBC News, citing a high-ranking source.

It is known that Karignan will replace General Wayne Eyre as the head of the Canadian Armed Forces.

According to the publication, since the creation of this post in 1964, Canada has had 21 heads of defense departments, and all of them have been men. Karignan was offered a position and accepted. Trudeau is expected to formally announce his appointment on Tuesday, July 2.

A change of command ceremony, where Karignan will be formally assigned to the top job, is scheduled for July 18.

Karignan is head of professional conduct and culture, a newly created position she has held since April 2021, when she was tasked by the federal government with combating sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces and changing the culture of military

She entered the Royal Military College of Canada in 1986, six years after it began admitting women. In 2016, Karignan became the first woman to achieve the rank of combat general. He also held several senior staff positions, including head of operational headquarters.

During his career, he served in the Golan Heights between Syria and Israel, as well as in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2009-2010, he led a task force of engineers in Kandahar, at the height of the Taliban insurgency in this Afghan province.

We remind you that Canada has provided assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 52.4 million Canadian dollars (approximately 38.1 million US dollars).

It was previously reported that Canada plans to provide Ukraine with 2.3 thousand aircraft missiles, which were previously in service with the country’s Air Force.
