Volunteer Recognition
Each year, CANEX sponsors the MFRC Volunteer Recognition Program. This program provides funding to MFRC's to assist them with their efforts to acknowledge the tremendous contributions made by volunteers in the military community.
Through such events as Volunteer Appreciation Week, Annual Appreciation Breakfast at Christmas, etc. the MFRC aims to recognize all the contributions that our volunteers provide and how integral they are to the success of our MFRC.
