Purchase a Commemorative Brick – Homecoming Statue Support military families by buying a brick to honour your loved one’s service at the Homecoming Statue in Victoria, BC. “The Homecoming” by sculptor Nathan Scott captures that magical and special moment when a sailor returns home to family and community. Each memorial brick celebrates our gratitude for the tens of thousands of Canadians who answered both the call of their country and of the sea through the first century of Canada’s Naval Service. Dedicate a brick today. Call the MFRC at (250) 363-2640 for more information or order it directly from our website.

Relocation and work-related absences can be difficult at times for a family with military serving members, it can impact lifestyle, wellbeing and resilience.
