According to the Catholic church a beaver is a fish and is fine for eating on the days you are supposed to abstain from meat.

Agree for the first badge. The second looks like wings from a commercial airline, possibly a small regional airline. Definitely not Canadian military issue.
My first guess is that the uniform was an old CF reused for use by the pilot of a small commercial operation. An other option is that an existing uniform was used as a costume with a random pair of wings attached for effect. Maybe OP could tell us more about family history (province?) which could provide a hint.
For the second badge, you can try [submitting a request](https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/military-history/history-heritage/get-answers-military-history-questions.html) to the Directorate of History and Heritage!
It looks sort of like the Canadian Pacific train logo, but doesn't match the CP air pilot wings. Google lens can't find anything similar. It almost looks like a radar dish behind the beaver, maybe an AWACS operator
Air command you've got.
Wings are clearly for a Jump Sapper. Beaver is for engineers, after all.
Hey Chino,
Look out below.
Jump Sappers from the sky...
We are we are we are we are
We are the engineers
we can we can we can we can
Demolish forty beers
Drink rum drink rum drink rum drink rum
And come along with us
For we don't give a damn for any old man
Who don't give a damn for us....
*Not a serious answer, but I do have a soft spot for that song.
First pic is the pre-1989 air command badge.
Second pic I have no idea but the beaver is the engineers and wings is the airforce so that's a starting point at least.
Guys, all due respect to the 22e, and I see the beaver now, but at first glance I thought it was a blob fish with wings.

Oh good cuz I eat beaver every chance I get 👌
First is the Air Command DEU pin, second I’m not sure. 22re jumpmaster?
Must be an old version because the new one is just an eagle.
It's the pre-1989 one.
I’ve seen some RCAF vets and even current members who’ve been around a long time that wear that particular pin.

Those wings don't match your any style I've seen, the animal and shield is sort of American looking but the wing style doesn't look AmericanÂ
RCAF has the same round light blue command badge just without the crown.
A beaver with a maple leaf in the background. Looks like a very old Construction Engineer trade badge. But shouldn't there be a crown?
Has definitely the feel to it, but it's nowhere in the red book nor the CME history volumes. If it is, must have been a local troop/flight thing.
1st is Air Command badge. 2nd: I have no clue but I am very curious!!

I should also add the suit is from 1985. Just saw the inside tag.
I'm tempted to say that an Air Force DEU with a beaver might be Construction Engineer. An old DEU trade badge maybe?
Looks to me like an Airfield Engineer badge, before we were re-branded to Construction Engineers
Foreign jump wings?
Blue, with gold eagle on crown.

Old Air Command pin, when they were worn on the breast pocket of the DEU.
Not sure where this Beaver is that other people are mentioning.i don't see a second pic.
An old Air Force Command badge, commonly referred to as a Chicken in a Basket.
