Douglas Aircraft C47/ DC3 Dakota KN 451 is ready for painting!

A color scheme has been chosen, representing that used by 103 Rescue Unit (now 413 Squadron) - the fi rst post-World War II fl ying unit

based in Greenwood. Painting is expected this year so the aircraft can be on display in the Greenwood Military Avia-tion Museum’s air park during the tourist season.

Painting such a large air-craft is a major project; how-ever, this project is less than that carried out last year on the Argus and will be done in-side 10 Hangar, not outdoors.

February means the Take the Roof off Winter campaign is underway.

Take the Roof off Winter is Nova Scotia’s winter active campaign, designed to help Nova Scotians of all ages improve their quality of life by being outdoors and active this winter. Recreation Nova Scotia partners with the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness to challenge communities, schools, busi-nesses and others to build more physical activity in daily routines.

The 14 Wing Greenwood Community Centre is a regis-tered Take the Roof off Winter supporter and is partnering with the Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre to offer a day of snowshoe fun February 1, 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., at the 14 Wing Green-wood Golf Course. This event is a challenge to all defence

team members to get active and enjoy an afternoon with their families (designed for all military members, their families, and valid Recreation Card holders).

If you enjoy snowshoeing and you are a valid Recreation Card holder, you can take ad-vantage of some great benefi ts at the 14 Wing Fitness and Sports Centre. Sports Stores provides cross country ski rentals for free, and you can sign out snowshoes for $2.25 a day, $5.25 for the weekend or $10 for the week. For infor-mation, contact Fitness and Sports Centre sports stores at 765-1494 ext. 5106.

The 14 Wing Community Centre is having a winter walk and sledding February 10 from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. for youth ages nine to 12. Bring a sled and winter wear to the centre. After, we’ll come back and warm up with hot-chocolate.

Restorations are long and, often, diffi cult tasks, requiring dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers. Fortunately, the Greenwood museum has many such volunteers, allow-ing for the restorations of two or three projects at a time. Including the Dakota, work is underway on restoring a twin-engine, all-metal, Canadian-built Bristol Bolingbroke and a Sperwer uninhabited air vehicle used in Afghanistan.

The individual team mem-bers, who have been working over the last four plus years to bring the Dak project to this point include Eric Welin, team leader, whose RCAF specialty was metal technician working on Daks for 10 years at sev-eral Canadian and European stations. He re-mustered to AES Op and served on both

Sunday. For information, or to make sure family skating is not cancelled due to weather or a tournament, call 765-1494 ext. 5305.

Chuck Calder began with the Canadian Army, gravitat-ing to aviation and the Air Force as a flight engineer on the Buffalo, Herc, Boeing 707 and Aurora, and was a valuable member of the museum’s award-winning Anson Restoration Team. Bob McElman was an RCAF career pilot with a soft spot in his heart for the Dak, an aircraft he flew for more than 800 hours. Bill Flynn was an RCAF “fi tter” - an old RAF term for an aero engine tech - who served some of his career as a fl ight engineer on the Lanc and North Star and is an invaluable museum volunteer who has served on various projects, including the Argus, Lanc and Neptune restora-tion. Russ Keddy started his

working career out of Ottawa, including time over British Guiana, and is an avid avia-tion history enthusiast who fl ies remote-control aircraft. Doc McKeil served his fi rst eight years as an aero engine tech on jets and remustered to flight engineer, serving the next 32 years on the twin Huey, Hercules, Challenger and Aurora aircraft. Brian Troniak first served as an airframe tech in the RCAF and later obtained an aircraft en-gineering degree and taught aircraft maintenance at Con-federation College in Thunder Bay, as well as holding other posts in teaching aeronautical engineering. Dave Richards was a navy armourer, a trade which included mechanical training. Following his second career in the electrical trade, Richards had the ability to turn his hand to most any job.

Colonel James Riley Stone was the founder of the Military Police Fund for Blind Chil-dren (MPFBC), which had its humble beginnings in 1957. Stone was the Canadian Army Provost Marshal (Military Po-lice) when his daughter, Moira, was affl icted with cancer of the eye, resulting in sudden blind-ness and, subsequently, death. During his daughter’s illness, Stone came into contact with organizations struggling to help blind children: there were many other blind children less fortunate than his daughter, unable, through lack of money, to enjoy some of the simpler things in life. Their plight af-fected him tremendously, and he was determined to help them. He canvassed members of the Military Police, asking them to contribute one or two dollars per year and, using their donations, established a fund to help blind children under age 13 (now children under the age of 21).

As a result of Stone’s enthusi-asm, the Military Police Fund for Blind Children was established as a not-for-profi t corporation, run and managed by Military Police volunteers. It remains unique in Canada as the only

Seeing the value of MP fund for blind youth

military charity in the country. The corporation is run by a board of directors, inclusive of all ranks within the Military Police, which supervises the management of the fund. The objectives of the MPFBC are to aid blind children, primarily, and young blind adults up to the age of 21, and to support charitable organizations and individuals involved in the education and recreation of blind children and young adults.

Members of the Military Police, including other mili-tary and civilian community members, become personally involved in fundraising activi-ties. They involve themselves with the blind children, visit their schools and invite them to Canadian Forces bases to learn more about the Cana-dian military. In every Military Police unit, regardless of size

or geographic location, you will fi nd a fund representative, responsible for the coordina-tion of fundraising activities and identifying needy children or organizations.

Recently, the 31 Military Police Flight ( 31 MP Flt) had the honour of presenting a local family with $5,000 to as-sist with retrofi tting a van with wheelchair accessible equip-ment required for their son who has multiple disabilities, including visual impairment.

Should you know of a child, military or non-military, who could benefi t from the fund, contact the 31 MP Flight fund representative, Master Corpo-ral Fred Ferguson, at [email protected] or 765-1494 ext 5111. To learn more about the MPFBC, Stone and his daughter, visit www.mpfbc.com.

Things are on track at 14 Wing Greenwood’s new health facility construction site.

The 50,000-square-foot centre is expected to be done by the end of August, with medical staff from three dif-ferent locations around the base coming together under one roof in the fall. An average of 47 people are on the job daily, even through the winter, putting in about 7,000 man hours every month. Interior work conditions are good, as the site was connected early on to the base’s steam heating system. Medical staff mem-bers have been visiting every few months since ground was broken to see how the facility is coming together.

“I hope some of the staff will be here when it does open,” said West Nova Mem-ber of Parliament Greg Kerr on a recent tour, referring to the regular postings that

“They were just thrilled to see it started, and they were very involved in the plan-ning – they should be very pleased.”

Kerr said the federal gov-ernment’s investment in the Greenwood health centre, part of a $90 million list of upgrades announced for the base a few years ago, includ-ing the recently-opened fi re hall; is secure, despite loom-ing budget challenges.

“That’s a commitment that stands – the timing, I can’t speak to,” he said, referring specifically to the replace-ment rink project for the base that has been delayed several times while community op-tions to add a second pad to the project are pursued.

“Government is trying to build the infrastructure stock the military has to work with across the country. It’s obvi-ous when troops are overseas what is needed; not as obvi-

Did you know February is Af-rican Heritage Month in Canada?

It originally started as Black History Month when founded in 1926 by Harvard-educated black historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson. In the 1970s, several black organizations and com-munity leaders banded together to promote this concept as a month, from its original week of recognition.

In Nova Scotia, the celebration of Black History Month was initi-ated in the early 1980s through the efforts of the Black History Month Association. It is now in its second decade, known as African Heritage Month.

Black Canadians’ military mark recognized during February

achievements and contribu-tions of black Canadians, who, throughout history, have done so much to make Canada the culturally diverse, compassion-ate and prosperous nation we know today. It also presents an opportunity for all to appreciate the richness of our Canadian diversity and its proud black Canadian history.

With roots dating back as far as 1609, black Canadians represent just over two per cent of Canada’s total population and 17 per cent of the visible minor-ity population today. The rapid growth of the black population, and other visible minorities, has contributed to Canada’s ever changing cultural mosaic.

Did you know during World War I, patriotic black Canadians attempted to join combat units

but were rejected on the basis of race and/ or colour. They still contributed to the war effort: in 1916, a segregated battalion made up of black Canadians, the No. 2 Construction Battalion, formed and was responsible for the crucial work of building bridges, digging trenches and clearing roads. In World War II, persistent efforts of black Canadians to join the armed forces were rewarded with suc-cess, and they went on to serve with distinction in all branches of the military.

The National Defence publi-cation, “For My Country – Black Canadians on the Field of Hon-our,” is available to employees of 14 Wing Greenwood at the Learning & Career Centre library in the Birchall Building, or you can find it at http://hr.ottawa-hull.mil.ca/dgmp-dgpm/dhrd-ddpd/dlkdp/fmc-pmp-eng.asp. You may also visit these websites for more information on African Heritage Month celebrations around Nova Scotia: http://www.gov.ns.ca/ANSA/AHM2012.asp and http://halifaxpubliclibraries.ca/ahmonth.

Perimeter road detour

In support of the project to relocate 14 Wing Green-wood’s Checkpoint Charlie, a temporary detour road opened January 30, adjacent to the construction site. The detour is located directly beyond the first bend on the perimeter road heading towards the operational side of the wing and is expected to be in place until May 31.

The speed limit through the construction zone area has been reduced to 35 km per hour.

Roger I Walsh, CRSP14 Wing general safety offi cer

That good old East Coast winter is upon us once more.

For all of us within the beauti-ful Annapolis Valley and sur-rounding areas, this time of year provides endless opportunities for outdoor fun and recreation. Snow can bring with it much joy. From the smiling, rosy cheeks of family members making that first winter snowman to the adrenaline rush as we soar down a soft powdery ski hill to that weekend snowmobile run with fellow sled enthusiasts or that game of pond hockey, winter can be a very busy and fun-fi lled time.

While it is paramount to practice safety all year round, the winter season presents additional risks we sometimes overlook - thus the need for increased vigilance when par-taking in your favourite winter outdoor activity or traversing our local road ways.

For those without the luxury of snow blowers, shovelling can be good exercise – but, remember, it can also be a very strenuous exercise as it is hard on the back and the heart. In order to minimize any health and safety risks, you should under-take some warm-up exercises. Don’t over-exert yourself. The type of shovel you use is also an important part of the equa-

tion. Using a lightweight shovel of 1.5Kg (3lbs) or less with a smaller blade size can make the task at hand more enjoyable and reduce the effort required. For those with powered snow blowers, it is important to keep your equipment in good running order and always follow the manufacturer’s safe operating instructions.

Snow and ice significantly increase the danger on roads for both pedestrians and drivers, hence the need to exercise ad-ditional caution when travelling this time of year. Reduce vehicle speed and adjust accordingly for ice, snow, slush or that famous, hidden black ice. Ensuring your vehicle is maintained in good

winter running condition, and all ice and snow is removed before starting out on the highway, enhance your road safety - and that of others. Keep a well-stocked vehicle emergency kit in your vehicles and ensure any operators have a cellphone for communication in case of an emergency when travelling. Remember: please drive sober.

For those hitting the snowmo-bile trails, a few facts courtesy of Transport Canada and the Cana-dian Institute for Health: there are over 700,000 registered sleds and over 161,000 kilometres of dedicated snowmobile trails in Canada. Of all winter sports, snowmobiling can cause some of the most severe injuries.

Young men under 20 suffer 80 per cent of severe snowmobile-related injuries. Each year, on average, 23 Canadians drown while snowmobiling. Nearly all snowmobile drownings happen in the late evening or at night. The Canadian Red Cross rec-ommends ice be at least 25cm (10 inches) for snowmobiling. Alcohol is associated with 75 per cent of all snowmobile ac-cidents. To ensure your safety and that of loved ones while enjoying your snowmobile this season, get trained and check with your local natural resource and law enforcement agencies to ensure your ride is legal and hassle-free. Children should never be allowed to operate a

sled unsupervised. Make sure the sleds size and power are ap-propriate for the age of any child operating it. Wear, and ensure any passengers wear, the appro-priate protective gear: goggles, waterproof snowmobile suits, gloves and approved safety helmets. If travelling over lakes and rivers wear approved fl ota-tion type clothing. Make sure your let someone know where you are going and never drive alone. Check local weather and trail condition before heading out, and respect private property.

So weather shovelling, driv-ing, or sledding is your favourite winter past time, don’t let inat-tention to safety take the fun out of this season.

Making the most of winter – safely

The C2A1 Marker Location Marine (MLM) is a buoyant smoke and fl ame-producing device used by ships and aircrafts as a positional marker on the water surface. When dropped into the water, they give off large clouds of dense smoke and burn violently for up to 20 minutes, making them an excellent loca-tion marker for day and night. MLMs are frequently used during search and rescue operations and training exercises.

The MLM is designed to sink to the ocean fl oor after it has been expended; however, a small number of MLMs do not completely burn off and remain afl oat. Periodically, members of the public fi nd an MLM that has washed ashore. MLMs pose a potential hazard that must be taken seriously. If you fi nd an MLM, do not touch it! Leave it where it is, mark the location and call the nearest Canadian Forces Base or the RCMP, and a person trained in the handling and disposal of unexploded

Can’t touch this!

ordnance will come and retrieve the MLM.What does an MLM look like? The MLM is unpainted natural

aluminum in colour, 47 centimetres in length, a diameter of 7.6 cm and weighs 1.7 kilograms. It may have a green band on the forward end with “CCC” written in white letters. The MLM is also labelled with clear hazard warnings and instructions to contact police or military.

Handling the MLM could result in very serious burns. The MLM contains phosphorous, a compound that burns at an extremely high temperature. Chances are, if the MLM has washed up on shore or a place that you can fi nd it, the MLM has not completely burned off and, therefore, could possibly reignite.

Don’t attempt to take the MLM to local authorities. The MLM should not be placed in any confi ned spaces, including a vehicle, because it could reignite and cause a serious fi re. Driving with an MLM in your vehicle puts yourself and other motorists around you at risk. The motion of the vehicle could jar the MLM, making it reignite and start a vehicle fi re.

In 1995, a Royal Canadian Legion pilgrimage to Holland celebrated the 50th anniversary of VE Day. Valley comrades Vic Barnes, David Blanchard, Hans Budgey, Bob Church, Clay Church, Robbins Elliott, Brent Fox, Kevin Lake, Keith Marr, Tom Rissessco and Terry Thomas represented the hundreds of veterans who make up the membership of local Legion branches.

Attending the events in Hol-land, the group was amazed at the knowledge expressed by the children of Holland in re-gards to the liberation of their country by Canadian troops so many years ago.

Upon returning home, Valley veterans decided to give local youth the opportunity to learn more about Canadian military history, including the contri-butions and sacrifi ces of its citizens and the achievements of the Canadian Forces. They developed a quiz style event, based on the former “Reach

Q&A on remembrance February 9 in Kingston

for the Top” school program. November 2, 1995 seven branches in the Annapolis Valley successfully presented an all-day knockout quiz pro-gram in Windsor; in that fi rst year, seven junior high schools with students from grades 8 and 9 were represented in the competition. With the success of this fi rst quiz, it was decided to host it again in 1996, and the competition has since contin-ued each year.

Students enrolled in grades 7, 8 and 9 at the start of the school year, and continuously enrolled, are eligible. In areas where a middle school is in place, Grade 6 students may participate.

It has been the pleasure of the Legions to work in co-operation with the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board and all the school staff who make this quiz an informative and pleasant experience for all involved.

The next Call to Remem-

brance event will be hosted by Branch 098 in Kingston February 9, with a start time of 8 a.m. (storm date February 10). The public is encouraged

to attend and see what these youth have learned about our country’s role in shaping world history. For information, visit www.kingstonlegion.com.

Companion Animal Protec-tion Society is proclaiming 2012 to be its “Year of the CAPS Volunteer.”

In a world where the value of volunteerism is become increasingly vital, CAPS offers some exciting volunteer op-portunities. CAPS gives people who love animals a chance to make a signifi cant difference in the lives of these animals - and their own. If you have a heart for animals in need, whether you are 13 or 93, we have many ways for you to get involved.

CAPS urgently requires foster homes for both cats and dogs. Without a safe, lov-ing, place to call home until they are adopted, many little animals will not get a second chance. CAPS also needs animal care volunteers to help with daily chores at its largest foster homes. Can you com-

mit to a morning, afternoon or evening a week to make a difference?

We try to match our team members with avenues of service that will be most fi tting and fulfi lling for their person-alities, lifestyle, talents and training: cuddler, groomer, rolling change, animal trans-portation, pet photography, fundraising, info, ticket table worker, event volunteer, cleri-cal work, folding laundry, pet food/ supplies organizer. Many small jobs demand only a few hours of your time on a relaxed schedule that fi ts your lifestyle.

Check out www.caps-an-napolis.org to learn how you can really make a difference to the Companion Animal Protection Society and to the homeless companion animals of Annapolis County. Email [email protected], or call 825-2277.

No kickin’ back with a good book this month!

The 14 Wing Greenwood Library has a special collection of health and fi tness material to get you moving, including new pedometers and walking program guides.

“I t ’s a l l about gett ing healthy,” says librarian Judy McCool. “While you’re doing that, reading can be incorpo-rated as a mental health help – it’s a stress relief, relaxing and you use your own imagi-nation.”

The new pedometers come from the Heart & Stroke Foun-

Read up on better health

dation, and borrowing them for a three-week period also gets you a Walkabout log book so you can track your steps, and also learn more about the benefi ts of walking. McCool is already looking ahead to spring, and perhaps organiz-ing a group walking program from the library on a regular basis.

“A lot of our visitors already walk here when they come to borrow books, so that could be a natural.”

While walking is one of the

easiest physical activities you can pick up, the library offers a diverse collection of health and fi tness resource material, from nutrition, diets and cookbooks to guides on weightlifting, yoga, senior fi tness and rais-ing healthy kids.

“This whole collection sees a lot of interest from library visitors, and we keep it di-verse,” she says. Trends or fads aren’t ruled out: McCool says if people are interested in what’s new, the library does its best to offer the information.

Judy McCool says sneakers and reading can work side by side for better health: enjoying a good book means you’re relaxed and ready for the next step to a general improvement in your life. S.Keddy

Our lifestyle is dependent on using energy and natural resources which can stress the earth and our local envi-ronment. By taking control of our community’s future and planning for sustainable development, we can help

conserve the natural resources we enjoy today, while improv-ing our community for future generations.

As a not-for-profit com-munity organization, we en-courage involvement from all members of our diverse community, from families to college students, business

Lloyd E. Graham & Sara Keddy

The Greenwood Golden Oldies, a men’s 50 and over hockey team, love the game, are dedicated to making the sport fun – and dedicate much of their on-ice effort to charity.

Besides playing two or three times a week, the Golden Oldies sponsor three hockey tournaments three times a year. From January 20 to 22, the Golden Oldies and Greenwood Gardens hosted eight teams -the Greenwood Raiders, Kentville “Wildcats”, Yarmouth Southwesters, Wolfville Valley Devils, Kings-ton/ Greenwood MidValley, Berwick and Windsor. All but

the Raiders, the all-female 14 Wing Greenwood team, were in the over 50 category.

To kick off the tournament, the Oldies received a donation of pink sweaters from Sco-tiabank, which prompted the team’s organizing committee to focus on the Canadian Can-cer Society as the tournament charity; specifi cally, The Lodge That Gives in Halifax, where the society offers support and accommodation to cancer pa-tients and family members in the city for treatment. Cancer patients stay free of charge and meals are provided at no cost. Those accompanying a patient pay a small daily rate for their room and meals. Lo-cal cancer society volunteer

Lloyd Graham dropped the opening puck for the game be-tween the Greenwood Raiders and the Oldies. What started off as a $250 donation from the Oldies grew during the course of the tournament and, before the last whistle and the trophies were awarded, Graham accepted a combined donation of $1,000.

Jerry Meade kicked in the last 80 cents needed to hit the $1,000 mark.

“Teams – every one – said they’d donate.”

The opening game between the Oldies and the Raiders ended in a 5-5 tie, and Meade said the women gave the men a run for their money.

“The Raiders – they have a

good team.”All the teams had three

games scheduled in the ensu-ing round robin, and Meade said things were going well - until the last game before the Sunday fi nal.

“Berwick lost one to Wind-sor, beat Greenwood and then played the Valley Devils, who’d lost both their games. The Devils were beating Berwick 6-4, and Berwick pulled its goal tender. The Devils then made it 7-4 and took Berwick out.”

Berwick didn’t realize, even with a 6-4 loss, they’d have still made the fi nal on accumu-lated goals. The extra Devils’ goal spelled disaster.

Meade says it was a then

big surprise to his Greenwood players to get a late night call to be on deck for the fi nal the next day. They’d played their three games and gone home.

“Everyone had passed in their sweaters, and we had to call ‘em all up again!”

Greenwood actually bor-rowed two players from Yar-mouth to ice a team in the fi nals, only to lose to Windsor in the over-50 division. Kent-ville won the over-60 title.

Bobby Holmes, Dave Ken-nedy and Meade co-founded the Golden Oldies in 1993 and share great pride in how it has evolved. At 78, Holmes is the most senior member of the 30-man team, with players who drive from Yarmouth and

Windsor for regular games and practices. Players have come from all across Canada to participate in their tourna-ments, but the teams are mainly from Atlantic Canada and represent our youth, the over 50s and those over 60 years old. The COHA rules prevail, except for fi ve rules from the Golden Oldies “un-derground rules committee,” which mainly address extra safety and conduct. Check out http://greenwoodgoldenoldie.tripod.com/ (you’ll be greeted by their theme song, “I Don’t Need No Rockin’ Chair”). There are plans for another seniors’ tournament in Febru-ary in Berwick, another chance to bring out the pink sweaters.

The fi rst half of the Kings Special Olympics bowling year is over and everyone has had a great time - and the bowling av-erages are certainly improving.

The athletes enjoyed a small “festive” get together on their last night of bowling December 15, where they enjoyed season-al snacks and exchanged gifts. Everyone was set to begin the New Year January 12 but, due

to weather conditions, the eve-ning’s bowling was cancelled.

The following are the pres-ent top three athletes in the male and female divisions: men’s high average: Danny 157, Rory 137 and Nathan at 136; women’s high average: Genna at 128, Sue at 119 and Tara at 115; men’s high single, Danny at 210; women’s high single, Sue at 171.

One of our bowlers, Annette McCann, is also a champion at snowshoeing and will be representing Nova Scotia at

Special Olympians working on high scores

the upcoming 2012 Cana-dian Special Olympics Winter Games in St. Albert, Alberta Feb 28 to March 3. She has been diligently practicing and improving her conditioning in readiness for the competition. We wish her all the best as she represents Nova Scotia and the Kings Special Olympics organization.

We encourage you to visit www.sons.ca for information on the Winter Games and Spe-cial Olympics in general.

Bowler Annette McCann will also be competing in snowshoeing as part of the Nova Scotia team head-ing to the 2012 Canadian Special Olympics Winter Games. Submitted

Between February 1 and 13, Kings County residents may be contacted to participate in a recreation and physical fi tness survey.

The county is working on a Kings County Municipal Physical Activity Strategy, to be completed in 2012, through a fi ve-year Municipal Physical Activity Leadership Program agreement with Nova Scotia. The survey, as well as future public consultation meetings in the spring, will help develop a strategy that best refl ects the interests of county residents. The telephone survey of 300 Kings County residents is be-ing conducted by Ipsos Reid.

Questions will be asked about physical activity levels, community walkability, satis-faction with local recreation services, programs and facili-ties, and user fees for recre-ation services.

Households with children or youth between the ages of two and 17 will be asked about their children’s activity levels.

The county encourages resi-dents to participate in the sur-vey. It will only take a few min-utes to complete and it will help provide accurate information on this initiative for staff and council as they work to increase the physical activity levels and the health of residents.

County’s quiz will define future recreation, activity programs

déploiement du CRFMG

Le personnel du CRFMG veut offrir à vous et à votre famille le meilleur soutien possible, lorsque les membres de la famille sont séparés les uns des autres.

Pour être en mesure d’adapter nos services aux besoins particu-liers de votre famille, il est bon d’être au courant de situations spéciales (une grossesse, une maladie, un acte médical tel qu’une intervention chirurgicale, par exemple) ou de circonstances exceptionnelles possibles (la fa-mille emménage chez la parenté, par exemple) pendant que vous serez déployé au loin.

La communication de cette information aux services de déploiement nous permettrait de mieux soutenir votre famille pendant votre absence. Nous pouvons vous aider à établir des plans en cas de situations exceptionnelles, nous pouvons vous mettre en relation avec des professionnels et des organis-mes communautaires dans la région, nous pouvons adapter nos services : appels de récon-fort, correspondance et autres services de soutien en période de déploiement, en fonction de l’horaire particulier de votre fa-

Est-ce que vous vous préparez pour un déploiement ?Si oui, laissez-nous savoir

Amy Snow, GMFRC coordinator of deployment services

Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre staff want to provide you and your family with the best possible support services and activities during your “family separation.”

In order to tailor our services to meet the unique needs of your family, it is helpful to know of any special situations or ex-traordinary circumstances that may occur during your deploy-ment. For example, if a spouse is pregnant during the deploy-ment, if there are any illnesses or medical procedures, such as surgeries, occurring during that time for any member of the family; or if the family at home may be relocating to be with

family at a different address during the deployment.

Sharing this information with deployment services can help us better support your family in your absence. We can help you and your fam-ily design a deployment plan to prepare and handle any special circumstances, we can help you get in touch with community professionals and organizations in the area, we can tailor our services, such as warm line calls, outreach mail and our deployment activities, to meet the unique needs of family at home. If your family is relocating to a different ad-dress during the deployment, we can make a referral to the nearest wing or base so they can continue to receive deploy-

ment support and services in that location.

There are many ways to pass this important information to deployment services. One way is to complete the section, Special Considerations and/ or Assistance Required for your Family During your Deploy-ment, on the Pre Deployment Family Information Form; an-other way is a quick email or call to Amy Snow, coordinator of deployment services, or you could drop in for a visit prior to your deployment.

If a situation occurs on short notice during a deployment, the GMFRC is just a call away and, together, we will do ev-erything possible to help you and your family through your deployment.

Preparing for deployment?Let us know!

mille. Finalement, lorsque votre famille habite sous un autre toit pour la durée de votre absence, il est possible de confi er le dossier à l’escadre ou à la base la plus près de sa nouvelle adresse de sorte qu’elle sera en mesure de recevoir soutien et services à cet endroit.

Il y a bien des façons de com-muniquer cette information im-portante aux Services de déploie-ment : vous remplissez la section

appropriée du formulaire de ren-seignements sur la famille avant le déploiement; vous expédiez un bref courriel ou téléphonez à la coordonnatrice des services de déploiement, Amy Snow; vous vous présentez au Centre pour nous rencontrer avant votre dé-part. En cas d’imprévu pendant votre absence, il vous suffi t de nous téléphoner et nous ferons tout notre possible pour vous aider.
