The recent MFRC Leadership Conference in Halifax brought together Executive Directors, Business and Program Managers from across the country. This was the first time a conference was held specifically by and for leaders from independently incorporated, non-profit, or Board-governed MFRCs.

The two-day conference provided MFRCs with an opportunity to consider the changes within the CAF and among military families, and to focus on leadership, strategic thinking, and relationship building. As military families navigate frequent relocations, absences, employment uncertainty, childcare needs, and transitions both into and out of military life, MFRCs must remain agile and responsive.

The conference reinforced that through continued relationship-building and shared commitment, MFRCs will remain well-positioned to support and advocate for Canadian Armed Forces families today and into the future.

" Des milliers de messages manuscrits provenant de tout le Canada ont été rassemblés pour composer un portrait du caporal suppléant Allan « Scotty » Davidson, l’un des premiers joueurs de hockey professionnels à s’être engagé pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. "

Sticky notes are made to remind us of the things we don’t want to forget. This year, Canadians used them to remember something much greater. Thousands of handwritten notes from across Canada have come together to create a portrait of Lance Corporal Allan “Scotty” Davidson, one of the first professional hockey players to enlist in the First World War.

Created to mark 100 years of The Royal Canadian Legion, the Remembrance Mural honours Scotty’s story and more than 120,000 Canadians who gave their lives in service to their country.

See it on display in the Great Hall at Toronto’s Union Station from October 24 to November 13. www.legion.ca/dontforget
