Responsive to the changing needs of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), our programs and services contribute to operational readiness by making our members stronger at the individual and community level. Members who are stronger mentally, socially, physically and financially are better prepared to serve our country and protect Canadian values. 

Working on behalf of the Chief of the Defence Staff and under the authority of the Defence Minister, CFMWS is a trusted partner in the Defence enterprise, operating under the Non-Public Property framework, expending Public and Non-Public funds in a unique operating model that creates real value for the CAF Community. CFMWS is a separate agency of the Defence team. CFMWS currently employs over 4,000 people as “Staff of the Non-Public Funds, Canadian Forces”, a separate employer under Schedule V of the Financial Administration Act of the Government of Canada. 

We work closely with DND and other government partners, to contribute to this larger Defence and security mission and the pursuit of common Government of Canada objectives.
