Lifestyle Impact
Why? Geographic relocation, operational deployments and the relentless upheaval of military life are the major causes of disruption and strain for military families, triggering many of the challenges they face. It is very difficult for non-serving CAF spouses to find and sustain reasonable, gainful, continuous employment. Many military families experience difficulty accessing suitable and affordable housing in healthy, cohesive communities. Military families are challenged in achieving both short-term and longterm financial well-being.
CAF Commitment We recognize the important role families play in enabling the operational effectiveness of the Canadian Armed Forces and we acknowledge the unique nature of military life. We honour the inherent resilience of families and we pay tribute to the sacrifices of families made in support of Canada. We pledge to work in partnership with the families and the communities in which they live. We commit to enhancing military life.
