Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC)
For 35 years, the Edmonton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) has been committed to enriching the lives of individuals and families in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) through positive action, education and support. Absences from family support systems, difficulties during deployments, solo parenting or coping with an injury or loss are realities for military families: realities that can have a significant impact on family well-being. Qualified staff from a variety of backgrounds direct and coordinate MFRC programs and services.
Established in 1989, the MFRC has been committed to supporting military families as they navigate the unique challenges through programs and services that enhance the strength and resilience of military families. The MFRC is a non-profit society registered under the Alberta Society's Act. The agency is also registered with Revenue Canada as a charitable organization. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of military spouses, CF members, and ex-officio members. Our MFRC depends on the talents and skills of these dedicated volunteers to make guiding decisions.
Who can access MFRC programs?
MFRC programs are open to: spouses, partners, children and relatives of Canadian Armed Forces’ personnel, both Regular and Reserve Force. Select programs are also available to Veterans and Defence Community families which includes current CAF, veterans, families of the fallen, civilian DND, MFRC, PSP, reservists, and their immediate family members.
The Edmonton Military Family Resource Centre supports military families as they navigate the unique challenges of military life through programs and services that enhance their strength and resilience.
