Youth Night 

For Military/Defence Team youth ages 11-18. Activities are planned by the teens themselves.

Held Wednesdays from 6-8pm at the MFRC Community Centre the Canuck Club

Youth Courses/ Workshops

Depending on numbers and level of interest, the MFRC offers courses for youth. The Canadian Safety Council Home Alone Course is designed for children ages 10 and up. This program provides children with the skills and knowledge needed to be safe and responsible when home alone, for short periods of time. 

We also offer the St John Ambulance Babysitting Course to children ages 12 and up. This program focuses on safety, first aid basics and dealing with emergencies. The MFRC advertises, compiles an interest list and if numbers warrant offers the programs, usually in early September. 

Youth Match

This program helps new youth become settled into the community. We seek out youth sponsors who are matched with youth of similar age, interests, etc. They make contact via email, provide information about schools, the community etc. and make contact when the individual arrives “on the Goose!” Interested sponsors are asked to contact the MFRC (link to 2.6)  to have their name added to the list.

Youth Advisory Council

We are hoping to offer more programs for the 12 -18 age group. Depending on numbers and  level of interest, we would like to set up a Youth Advisory Council. The council would allow youth to lead and develop programs according to their own needs and interests. It could provide the youth with the opportunity to socialize, gain volunteer experience and build essential life skills. Adult volunteers or youth interested in the Youth Advisory Council, please contact the MFRC’s Child Youth Coordinator.
