Family Information Line (FIL)

As the loved one of a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) member, you can contact the Family Information Line (FIL) for any support you may need as a result of the unique nature of military life. The FIL offers confidential, personal and bilingual assistance. FIL counsellors can help your family obtain information, and provide reassurance, support and referral to the various services offered to CAF families.
