Military Families are the strength behind the uniform and the Halifax & Region Military Family Resource Centre (Halifax & Region MFRC) is proud to be a part of a strong military family community. The Halifax & Region MFRC is a not-for profit, charitable organization, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of a minimum of 51 per cent military spouses.
