Military Family Services
Military families are strongest when they are connected with the programs and services available to them in their communities. As such, and coupled with the ongoing pandemic, the MFS-NCR has changed how we deliver support services in the NCR. We have moved away from a centralized hub (previously located at Uplands), to offer our customized services rooted in community.
Today, there are more than 10,000 active members that live in our region. As well, there are Veterans, reservists and family members. Our community is vast and is growing. Gone are the days when families moved on base exclusively; instead, families are making their new homes in communities from Cornwall to Stittsville, Kanata, Orléans, Aylmer, Gatineau and more!
We recently launched a video series called The Welcome, a virtual introduction for new and returning families to learn more about the programs and services available to them in the NCR. Below, you will find the links to our website and videos.

2022 CED Funding Program
I am happy to announce the 2022 CED funding program. If you know of any non-profit organization with a job growth/entrepreneurship mandate for disadvantaged populations that you think might find this program beneficial please forward this email to them.
We will accept applications between January 3, 2022 and February 25, 2022.
The annual Community Economic Development (CED) Funding Program provides financial support to selected projects (not programs that are ongoing) that are anticipated to result in:
The CED Funding Program is focused on having a positive impact on disadvantaged populations (e.g. lower income youth and older adults, rural residents, new immigrants, visible minorities, etc.), while also helping to overcome social justice and inclusion barriers, and/or cultural diversification benefits.
Projects should help build community capacity to support these objectives beyond the funding period. Projects should help targeted populations to overcome identified impediments. Projects should build inclusivity for populations that are under-represented in the mainstream economy.
The CED Funding Program awards a total of up to $270,000 (in 2022), distributed among the proposals that are selected by a jury panel of reviewers. While proposals may have inherent merits, funds are awarded only among the top-ranked projects, until the annual funding maximum is reached.
