RMC Trailblazers: A Conversation with Jamie Speiser-Blanchet about Resilience, Curiosity, and the Future of the RCAF
We sat down in early June with Lieutenant-General Jamie Speiser-Blanchet to discuss her journey from Officer Cadet at RMC to newly-appointed Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Hers is a story of firsts, of leadership forged through experience, and of a commitment to growth—in herself and in those she leads.
Graduating from RMC in 1994 with a degree in computer engineering, Speiser-Blanchet went on to earn her pilot wings in 1996. She served as a tactical helicopter pilot on the CH-146 Griffon, with operational deployments to Haiti and Bosnia, and later led 403 Squadron as Commanding Officer. Her diverse career spans the operational and strategic—from frontline flying to senior roles at 1 Canadian Air Division and the Office of the Minister of National Defence.

Out Standing, the story of Sandra Perron, Canada’s first female infantry officer, in theatres September 26 2025
