The primary function of the PSP Coordinator in Brussels is to enhance the morale and welfare of the Brussels Canadian Community.
The BRUSSELS UNIT FUND (PSP Brussels) is managed by a committee and administered locally by the PSP Coordinator. The Unit Fund Committee is comprised of a chairperson, four members (one of them representing the dependants) and assisted by the PSP Coordinator. The Committee is responsible to the Commanding Officer and provides direction to the PSP Coordinator for programming, fiscal policies, and management of the budget.
The BRUSSELS UNIT FUND will provide responsive and focussed financial and organizational support to enhance the well-being of the Unit Fund members and their families through activities and events which promote the cohesion of our community and enhance their European experience.
All Canadian military and DND civilians serving in Brussels, along with their dependants, may participate in subsidized PSP programs and activities. Guests can be invited to participate when space is available, however no subsidy will be provided.
