Deployment

Deployment Programming

Deployment can a time of challenges and opportunities for the person going away and for those remaining behind. At your MFRC, we know firsthand the physical and emotional demands placed on partners, children and extended family as a result of deployment or extended duty. We believe deployment support doesn’t begin when a member leaves and doesn’t end when a member comes home – it’s an ongoing process. Are you experiencing a Deployment in 2021-2022? Check out the MFRC Deployment Programs to see what fits for you. All Deployment offerings require registration at least 5 days in advance of session or workshop date. For upcoming activities and events please visit www.esquimaltmfrc.com/events.

Discounts for PSP Adult Recreation Programs for those Experiencing a Deployment

As loved ones of a deployed member, it can often seem as though time is passing by at a snail’s pace, especially when you are on your own or solo parenting while maintaining the home front. We know that trying new things and meeting new people, getting connected and being connected to your community can make the whole experience a more positive one, full of personal growth. To assist you with that, we are offering discounts to a variety of PSP Adult Programs throughout the year! In some cases, childcare may be provided so that you can attend the activity or workshop. Connect with your MFRC Deployment team or Family Network for all the details and a list of current eligible programs. You won’t be sorry! FAMILY NETWORk EMAIL ADDRESSES
