Canadian Forces RSS Feeds

What is RSS?

Rich Site Summary (RSS) or as some refer to it, Real Simple Syndication, is an XML-based format for content distribution in real time. Canadian Forces Recruiting RSS news feeds include basic information and a link to the full content on the forces.ca Web Site. You will need to install a News Reader or Aggregator – they are available for free download or for purchase on the Internet. For more details on RSS, try this useful FAQ or the RSS specification.
