This project reminds us that every tiny contribution - even the act of tying a strip of cloth on a net - can make a difference. It makes us all capable of "serving those who serve." @Jessica_L_Wiebe thank-you for joining @CadsiCanada at #CANSEC2023 and inspiring us.
The fourth camo net for Ukraine being made at #CANSEC2023@CadsiCanada ! I am deeply grateful for the support this project received from delegates attending and staff who were enthusiastic to participate. Your actions are significant. #togetheroneveryfront
The level of innovation & expertise on display at #CANSEC2023 is enough to knock your socks off.
Canada has the people and talent it needs to be on the leading edge of defence modernization – and our government will continue to support this important industry!
Notice the net next to our theme wall at this year’s #CANSEC2023?
Courtesy of artist @Jessica_L_Wiebe, CANSEC attendees have had the chance to tie pieces of camouflage fabric to a net to engage in a dialogue on the war effort through art. The net will be donated to Ukraine 🇺🇦

@PetitPoulet75@NateTWN@KMacTWN@ThatMetGirl This is the #1 joke that I get - you easily lose feeling/dexterity in the hands once they are cold. I wear them so I still have dexterity to dry off and get dressed after since I stay in for awhile. Safety first! Though they still go numb!
