When you join the Family Network for 443 Squadron, you will receive important updates on deployments and work-related absences, information on social activities, and have the opportunity to connect with others going through the same experience. 

If your loved one deploys with an air detachment attached to a ship, we suggest that you also join the ship’s Family Network.

Register with us to receive deployment and work-related absence support by becoming a part of your Family Network, connecting with the MFRC local to you, and/or receiving support in French.
