Toronto MFRC
The Toronto MFRC is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, membership which includes military members, military family members, and area of responsibility stakeholders.
The Vision of the Toronto MFRC echoes and augments that of our oversight and governance organization, Military Family Services: Strong, resilient families who enable a mission-ready force and who enjoy a quality of life comparable to other Canadian families.
The Vision of the Toronto MFRC answers the question, "If we do our work right, we will have...", and is:
Confident, capable, and resilient veterans, members, and families within the CAF community of the GTA.
Similarly, the Mission of the Toronto MFRC is an evolution of the Mission of MFS.
The Mission of MFS is:
To enable a mission-ready Force by addressing the issues faced by Canadian Armed Forces members and their families that result from military service.
The Mission of the Toronto MFRC is:
To provide effective, engaging, and encouraging support services to current and former CAF members and their families residing in the GTA, through the lens of the unique challenges and needs of the military lifestyle, empowering them to confidence, capability, and resiliency.
In support of this Mission, the Goals of the Organization are:
- To help families of Canadian Forces members manage the stresses associated with the unique characteristics of the military lifestyle.
- To enhance the quality of life in the Canadian Forces community by supporting personal family and community development.
- To foster the active and meaningful participation of Canadian Forces families, in particular, civilian spouses of Canadian Forces members in the development, delivery and evaluation of military family services.
- To contribute to the operational effectiveness of the Canadian Forces by strengthening Canadian Forces families and communities.
We will achieve these goals by:
- Ensuring the provision of a range of accessible, high quality services that respond to the needs of Canadian Forces families
- Developing and maintaining partnerships that enhance our mandate
- Promoting the visibility, awareness and use of the TMFRC services
The Toronto Military Family Resource Centre, under the governance of the Board of Directors is committed to:
