  3. ACCESS POINTS Military Family Resource Centres • 33 in Canada, - services in the United States and Europe • Third party, non-profit organizations located on Bases/Wings or through outreach programs Family Information Line • Informed, Connected and SupportedAvailable 24/7 at 1-800-866-4546 • Bilingual, information and supportive counselling www.FamilyForce.ca • For and about Canadian military families • A portal to all MFRCs for local information • Useful general information of interest to all Canadian military families

  4. MILITARY FAMILY SERVICES BY THE NUMBERS • 45,105 the number of military families in the Canadian Forces Regular Force • 12, 247 full time reserve • 83% the proportion of families of Regular Force members living in civilian communities, as opposed to on a military base • 8% the proportion of families of Regular Force members who are living with one or more children with special needs • 82% the proportion of military spouses who are very supportive of their partner’s career in the Regular Force • 76% the proportion of spouses who have relocated at least once due to their spouses’ military posting • 70% the proportion of spouses who have experienced the deployment of their military partner at least once • 17% the proportion of spouses who have experienced the deployment of their spouse more than five times • 51.8% the proportion of military spouses who reportedly felt that they had made career sacrifices, and a smaller proportion reported they were underemployed (9.5%), unemployed or that their career had been severely affected by their partner’s military service (8.8%) • Over 37,000 hours of emergency, respite and casualty child care support were provided to over 2000 families in 2011/2012

  5. FINANCING PRIORITIES Almost 40% of all MFS public funding is spent on overhead. Industry standard is 5-15% (excluding fundraising). Potential to reduce overhead if current funding and reporting requirements through e-Business Centre are reduced. Potential MFSP category misalignment across expenditures, services delivered, and military family usage.

  6. GOVERNANCE DOCUMENTS Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) – A formal contract between DND and the MFRC to ensure compliance with the Financial Accountability Act Supplemental Agreement (SA for Base/Wing, FLO, CANSOFCOM) – Provides accountability framework, outlines mutual commitment and provides verification of services or expenditures as required How can these documents be leveraged to better support the MFRC?
