Children's Deployment Programs & Services
Children’s Deployment Workshops
Help your young child adjust to a parent being away on deployment. Kids interact with other children who are going through the same experience. These workshops will help validate your child’s feelings about deployment. Register your child by calling the Military Family Resource Centre at 250-363-2640. Space is limited, please register your child in advance.

Punch cards keep track of family usage. Parents must complete registration forms and follow established guidelines. Donations to the MFRC make this program possible.
