There are a few City Forces in Canada who have a designated mess dress. I know Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, and Toronto each have their own. The RCMP have mess dress for commisioned officers, while NCO's wear tunics with cloth belts.
Calgary also has a pattern of mess dress for their pipes & drums (highland mess dress). I haven't seen it anywhere else...
Cheers for the information. I really would like to see a photo of it in wear.

I last saw it in use about 4 years ago - a Superintendent from Surrey - the satin facings were purple if I remember rightly - other than that it was much like Naval mess dress
