Celebrating Military Children in our community

The official flower of the military child is the dandelion. Its seeds are blown far and wide by the wind but it will always plant roots and blossom wherever it lands. It can grow and bloom anywhere. It symbolizes strength, perseverance, hope.

The colour teal was chosen because it incorporates all branches of the Military (Blue for Air Force, Green for Army and Blue/White for Navy).

The experiences, adventures, heartaches, and challenges that our military-connected children face every day are diverse and impactful.  So often we hear of the resilience of our military families, Resilience isn't just something that is standard issue "kit" given to families when their CAF member joins the Forces. Building resilience, as it would turn out, is both a challenge and a blessing of life as a child in a military family.
