Supporting our Troops
People often wonder how they can support Canadian Forces troops beyond buying Yellow Ribbons and other gear. The following is a brief description of a Canadian organization that may be of interest to you:

Married to the Canadian Forces is a web based forum designed to connect Canadian military families from coast to coast. Originally designed as a support group for military spouses, Married to the Canadian Forces has grown and now unites military spouses, parents, and extended families members Canada wide. The site offers support, information, advice, and most of all, a connection to people sharing in the military family experience.
