For the third year, Canadian Forces Personnel and Family Support Services (CFPFSS) celebrates “June is Recreation Month (JRM)”.   This year’s theme, “Recreation, For Every Age and At Every Stage”, was chosen to promote the benefits of active lifestyle from childhood to adulthood. 

Thanks to the generous support of Canadian Defence Community Banking (CDCB), CFPFSS is holding an exciting contest that will engage the whole family in recreation.  One lucky winner will receive a family recreation trip to Toronto for a family of eight (8).  This amazing prize includes transportation to Toronto, three nights’ accommodation, all meals and tickets to attractions.

“We are prepared to bring you and your family from any part of Canada to Toronto for a recreation weekend.  For example, we can fly grandma and grandpa from Halifax, your child from Ottawa and your family posted in Moose Jaw,” explains Natacha Tremblay, CDCB Program Manager.  “Recreation programs are important to our CF community and we are pleased to support this program.”

Recreation plays an important role in the Canadian Forces both operationally and in family support.  Services offered by Personnel Support Programs (PSP) offer opportunities to improve physical and mental health, develop a wide range of skills, promote community integration and build family relationships.  JRM provides an opportunity to celebrate these benefits and educate the community about the importance of participating in recreation and leisure activities.

Visit the National Recreation Services website from June 1st to June 30th to learn more about the prize package including contest rules and enter to win.
