MVP+ Program

A health and wellness program specifically designed for retired military veterans in Kingston helping them to Stay Connected, Stay Fit, and Stay Engaged!

The Military Veteran Program Plus (MVP+) is designed to connect Veterans with valuable health and wellness services, interactive special events, exercise classes, educational growth, social connection and more! MVP+ has its very own Ambassador/point of contact to welcome and assist Veterans on their health and wellness journey after their Military service. This program is unmatched and offers the most unique and amazing ways for Veterans to feel appreciated, accepted, and understood as they engage in physical activities, make new friends, and reconnect with old friends within a familiar CAF environment. 

About the MVP+ Program

The Military Veteran Program Plus (MVP+) Program started at CFB Kingston as a pilot program in December 2019, completely unfunded 

Today, still unfunded, membership continues to grow, due to many generous local sponsors and the positive and lasting difference this program is making in the lives of Kingston & area Veterans.

In 2021, the MVP+ Program received National recognition for the work it is doing for CAF Veterans, improving the health and wellness of those who register.

The variety of opportunities this program provides to its Veterans are simple, yet significant, and often a stepping-stone toward their overall well-being.

The ultimate goal of the MVP+ Program is to help Veterans … Stay Connected, Stay Fit, and Stay Engaged.
