Board
To ensure that the MFRC remains a community based organization, it is governed by a volunteer board of directors, made up of at least 51% military family members. The board provides governance for one of the best charitable organizations in the country.
Strength Through Partnership
- We believe that military families are strong, independent and resilient.
- MFRC and CF partnership ensures families have information, resources and services to keep them connected, supported and informed.
Military Families cope with the unique challenges of military life, play a significant and positive role in morale and welfare of deployed members and are the strength behind the uniform.
Thanks to those who attended our Annual General Meeting and BBQ on June 20. A copy of our Annual Report is available here.
