Deployment Dolls

Deployment Dolls may be requested by the parent / guardian at home caring for the child(ren) of a deployed CAF member. 

CAF members must be deployed overseas (with the exception of Alert) and already be deployed when a Deployment Doll is requested. 

CAF members must be deployed for a minimum of one month, in order for their child(ren) to be eligible for a Deployment Doll. 

There is no age restriction for Deployment Dolls as long as the recipients are children of deployed CAF members. 

Due to limited quantities, Deployment Dolls are reserved for children who have never received one. Exceptions may be made under special circumstances, and at the discretion of the Military Family Navigator team.

For further information, please contact [email protected]. 

There is a limit of one Deployment Doll per child. 

To request a Deployment Doll, you will need to fill out the Deployment Doll request form below. Once completed, our team will contact you with pick up details. 

Deployment Dolls may only be picked up by the person who applied for it and a signature will be required. Should you be unable to pick up the doll yourself, alternate arrangements must be made with the Military Family Navigator team in advance. 

The Military Family Navigator team will give applicants a date and time to pick up the doll at the South Side Community Centre (1578 Wolfe Ave.).

CANSOFCOM families are not eligible to receive Deployment Dolls from the PMFRC and should speak with their MFS representative for their options.

Unfortunately only CAF members attached to Garrison Petawawa may apply for a Deployment Doll from the PMFRC. Those attached to other bases should check with their local MFRC for other options.   

Prior to departure, CAF members should have filled out their Family Information Form and we will use this as proof. If they have not filled it out or if you’re unsure, please contact the Military Family Navigator team before submitting your Deployment Doll request form.
