Seasons Of Absence

Build connections and gather resources alongside families experiencing frequent separations, whether you are preparing for, currently facing, or reuniting with a loved one.

  • 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
  • Kingston Military Family Resource Centre
Anyone with a CAF member in their life knows that a work-related absence can be challenging for both the serving member and loved ones who are left at home.

This event offers an opportunity for anyone experiencing or anticipating an absence to gather with peers and engage in resiliency-based activities. Children are encouraged to participate! Parents/guardians are required to remain onsite for the duration of the event.

This season, join us for a fun and relaxing event! We’ll start with a simple indoor activity where adults will explore the art of journaling and children will decorate a pillowcase with memories and positive thoughts. Afterward, we'll head outside to cool off and have fun at the splash pad, embracing both relaxation and play.

Participants who are not attending this event with a spouse or child(ren) are welcome to bring one guest if they would like.

If you intend to join in on the splash pad fun, please ensure you bring appropriate water ready clothing, towel, sunscreen, water shoes & anything you require for fun in the sun!

Note: Our activities are primarily delivered in English, but we make every effort to help you access alternatives in French. If you face any barriers to joining us, let’s talk about how we can support you.
