Contact Information

When you join the Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel (MCDV) Family Network, 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. This Network supports HMCS Brandon, HMCS Edmonton, HMCS Nanaimo, HMCS Saskatoon, HMCS Whitehorse, and HMCS Yellowknife. 

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.
