Strengthening the Forces is the CF’s Health Promotion program. The team is composed of four promoters with complementary areas of expertise (nursing, kinesiology, nutrition and social work) and an administrative assistant.

Our services enable you to make sound choices regarding health, wellness, lifestyle and work–life balance. These include choices on issues such as managing stress and anger, communicating in relationships, preventing suicide, quitting smoking, and making good nutritional and food choices, especially as they relate to training, and addiction prevention (alcohol, drugs and gambling).

The services are primarily for Regular and Reserve Force members, their immediate families, civilian employees of the Department of National Defence,

Non-Public Funds employees and members of cadet corps. We offer a variety of services, including awareness activities, workshops, courses, information booths and health events. We schedule these services in advance or offer them upon request according to your needs.

Feel free to come meet us from Monday to Friday between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm.

Our offices are located at the Sports Centre (building 516), room 181 A.
