Month of the Military Child

In April, we celebrate Month of Military Child and recognize military children for their strength and resiliency as well as the important contributions they make to our CAF community. 

Military children face unique challenges throughout deployments, absences, relocations, and frequent change. It is during these times where military children remain strong and resilient that they are often compared to the dandelion. Much like the dandelion, military children can put down roots almost anywhere. They are impossible to destroy. They adapt easily and can survive nearly anywhere. They bloom everywhere the wind carries them and they stand ready to fly into the breezes to take them into new adventures, new lands, and new friends. Military children are RESILIENT!

Teal Up Day!

Join us in wearing a teal shirt on April 12 in recognition of the strength and resiliency of Canadian military children.
