MFRC Executive Director’s Welcome
The Advisory Committee and Staff at the North of 60 MFRC extend, to you and your family, a warm welcome to the North.
One of our goals is to assist military members, single included, and families with their transition to their new home and their Northern adventure.
This handbook is just one tool to assist with this transition. Our friendly staff members are here to assist you with accessing information within and about your new community. Upon request, a welcome package will be sent to you with additional local information on programs and services available to you.
To get a sense of the goings on in Yellowknife and the North of 60 MFRC we encourage you to explore this website and following us on Facebook.
A few considerations for those of you posting in with children
- It is advisable to look for childcare spaces immediately as it usually takes time to secure childcare for children under two years of age. A list of licensed daycares and day homes can be found at ece.gov.nt.ca/en/childcare.
- Please note that the North of 60 MFRC does not offer childcare services.
- Before school care is not offered in schools and is scarce within the community, some day home providers offer this service at an additional cost.
- Securing after school care has become increasingly challenging and should be looked into as soon as you’ve received your posting message.
- Registration for summer camps and fall recreation programs occurs early therefore it would be advisable to register for activities as soon as you receive your posting message or registration opens. Watch our Facebook page for information.
We are available to answer any questions you may have about living in the North and a posting to Yellowknife. I encourage you and your family to contact us, with any questions you may have, at info.nof60@cfmws.com or 873-0700 ext. 6859. Don’t be shy!
We look forward serving you and your family!
Rose Jasmin
Executive Director
