In order for our serving members to effectively fulfill their missions, they need to know that their families back on the homefront are safe, secure and supported. It is the families of the Canadian Armed Forces that hold down the fort, ensuring that our men and women in uniform can focus on the mission first.
Last year on MFAD, we created a digital campaign called #HomeFortChallenge where we asked civilians, high profile Canadians, the CAF community, politicians and celebrities to build a fort, share a video or note of thanks online to honour those who take care of the homefront.
