Apprpriate dress for ceremonial occasion

[Downunder Kilt]

If you are repesenting "The Royal Canadian Legion" (an organisation) then this is an entirely different matter, you are not representing the Country of Canada. My concern was that you being an official representative of the Canadian Government, yet wanting to wear the national dress of another country. If this is the case, I would suggest tweed jacket, waistcoat, shirt, tie, basically the highland equivalent of your dark suit.

The Royal Canadian Legion organize the event and are responsible for the ceremony. They have their own tartan, which if I were a member, I could wear for their events. I perform this duty as a representative of Canada, at the request of our federal government. There is an order of precedence in which the wreaths are laid. The national one, with the legend "Canada" on, is the first. This is the one I will be laying. It is late here now, so I will have to wait until tomorrow to contact my parliamentary representative and see what the government thinks of your point of view.
