The Overview

The Esquimalt Military Family Resource Centre

The Esquimalt Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) is a not for profit organization that helps military members and their families navigate and celebrate all facets of military family life.

The MFRC brings the military community together and connects family members with the resources they need, when they need it most. They service families of 6,700 military personnel (Regular and Reserve force). These families cope with frequent and unpredictable geographic relocations, long deployments of their loved ones in the military and concern about the well-being of their military member. The MFRC's aim is to support families on the home front so that they can develop coping skills as well as enhance their resilience and sense of belonging.
