The HOPE (Helping Our Peers by providing Empathy) program is for military families who have lost a loved one who served in the Canadian Forces (CF), either active or retired, Regular or Reserve Force. The loss may be attributed to military service or any other cause. HOPE matches trained peer volunteers to bereaved families.

One of their mottos is "Better Thinking, Better Listening, Better Speaking" and they are in the business of helping people gain confidence and overcome the fear of speaking in public. They are TOASTMASTERS and the Military Family Resource Centre is pleased to announce we will be sponsoring a new Chapter of Toastmasters, at the MFRC this spring. Our kick-off meeting is scheduled for 12:00 noon sharp, on March 21st, 2012 in the MFRC multi-purpose room.
Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Their membership is 270,000 strong and there are over 13,000 clubs worldwide. Toastmasters generally brings up the thought of public speaking, but it's really so much more than that. The skills and confidence one can gain through the Toastmasters Educational experience are very often and for many people, life changing.
Our new Chapter will be meeting each Wednesday at Noon sharp and visitors are always welcome. No obligation, just come by share the hour with us, and we'll be pleased to share the experience with you.
If you'd like a bit more information, please feel free to call Bob Mann, at the MFRC, 780-973-4011 Ext 6330, or visit www.toastmastersinternational.org.
