MFRC Deployment Resources and Services

Deployment Resources & Services Children’s Deployment Workbooks and Parent Guide

The MFRC has workbooks for children 3 to 12 years of age and an easy-to-use parent guide for the athome parent that includes tips and activities for the deployed parent. Stop by any MFRC location to pick up your copy today! Copies of these manuals are available to deployed members on their ships and electronically upon request. Deployment staff can assist you throughout the deployment via email support.

Deployment App

Deploying soon? There is now an app for that. With the MFRC Deployment App, you can receive tips to guide you through all stages of your work-related separation, use checklists to keep track of your to-do lists, receive reminders of mail dates, search for your closest MFRC location and see how far you’ve come with a customizable countdown clock. Downloads available for iOS and Android devices via the Apple App Store and Google Play. Learn more at www. esquimaltmfrc.com/deployment/app.

Deployment Support Books

These booklets contain information to make deployment easier for military families. There are versions specifically for sea, land and submarine deployments. Pick up your booklet at any MFRC location, view it online or request that one be mailed to your loved one!

Mail Drop Off Locations

Send mail and parcels to your deployed member for free! The MFRC is an approved drop off site for the Fleet Mail Office for Units with published mail dates or for any land based deployment outside of Canada. The MFRC will accept parcels and letters for deployed members at either CPAC MFRC or Signal Hill MFRC. Visit www. esquimaltmfrc.com for addresses, mail dates and guidelines. Please note: If your military member is away on a course or imposed restriction (IR), you must mail your letters or parcels through Canada Post.

Parenting from Afar

Stay connected with your child during deployment. Grab a Children’s Deployment Workbook and a Parent Guide at any MFRC location, and the Parenting from Afar booklet.
