In 2022, Together We Stand and Canadians across this country thanked our brave and resilient military families for the sacrifices they have made on behalf of our families. They did this by downloading and posting a photo of the TWS provided sign of thanks on their social channels using #MFAD.
– Rick Ekstein, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board, TWS
Military Family Appreciation Day (MFAD) was created to celebrate, acknowledge and honour those who stand beside the uniform. Our goal is to raise awareness of the challenges, sacrifices and resiliency military families face as they support their loved ones who are currently serving, or have served in the Canadian Armed Forces.
In 2019, we decided it was time to find a way in which the organization – and the country as a whole – could thank ALL Canadian military families for their service to our country – so we set our sights on creating a nationally recognized day. We worked to have a unanimous consent motion passed through the House of Commons, producing Canada’s first ever Military Family Appreciation Day – now celebrated each year on the third Friday in September.
