Amanda Aldous ’02

A Royal Canadian Air Force Logistics Officer, Colonel Amanda Aldous ’02 has served at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels in various positions across Canada, including two command appointments. Col Aldous has completed three international deployments — as an advisor to NATO Training Mission – Afghanistan, to Kuwait with Air Task Force – Iraq, and to Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territory with US Security Coordinator. A past participant of the Governor General of Canada’s Leadership Conference, she also served as an Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba. Col Aldous is currently the Director of Plans and Modernization at 1 Canadian Air Division.

 

Since her graduation in 2002, Col Aldous has obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Political Science, a Master of Public Administration, and a Master of Defence Studies. As a lifer, she comes from a multigenerational family of Balmoral Hall School graduates. Col Aldous joined our Board of Governors in 2019 to give back to BH girls in a meaningful way and carry on her family’s legacy.

 

“All of my professional achievement and personal growth has been based on my foundation at Balmoral Hall School,” Col Aldous believes. “Developing into the leader I am today began with early commitments to lifelong learning, participation, and service that were encouraged at Balmoral Hall. I hope that my contributions as a governor will ensure that current and future students receive the same incredible experience that I did.”
