Deployment/Absences Support Services
Military members and their families in the Winnipeg and Thunder Bay areas have access to a range of personalised services designed to support every stage of a work‑related absence. Whether you are preparing to leave, currently deployed, or returning from a short‑ or long‑term deployment, training, or tasking, your Winnipeg MFRC is here to provide the support and resources you need.
Supports services
Includes a review of an "Everything Package" to help with ensuring all important documents and information are safely kept in one binder before your deployment.
This service is offered to families with a member currently deployed overseas or deployed to Alert.
The MFRC has a parcel packing station located in our Resource Library, with all the supplies and information needed to send a parcel to your loved ones.

It is a confidential and informal telephone service to support and inform you of our services, resources, activities and events. It is also a quick way to check in with your family to see how everyone is doing. This takes place 30 to 60 days after an initial deployment and during the reintegration phase.
