We provide confidential services and resources that support the well-being of military families serving at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. We serve all military, regular force or reservists, their parents and close relatives. In all our work, we comply with the Privacy Code of the Director of Military Family Services (DMFS).

The Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) was established in 1991 to help the Canadian Military achieve operational readiness by enhancing quality of life and enriching the military experience for families. To accomplish this, we provide specialized programs and services that promote health, education and social well-being.
