Community Update: Phase Four

H&R MFRC COMMUNITY UPDATE PHASE FOUR

(Effective September 8, 2020)

Thank you to our community for such patience and continued participation as we adapt our delivery of programs and services during a pandemic. Effective September 8, 2020, we are pleased to announce the following updates to our hours of operation as well as programs and services.

Hours of Operation

Halifax site, H&R MFRC (6393 Homefire Crescent): Monday to Friday, 7am – 5pm

Shearwater site, H&R MFRC (30 Provider Road): Monday to Friday, 8am – 4:30pm (public access is limited to the main office and community room)

Licensed Child Care Centres (Windsor Park Children’s Centre and Shearwater Children’s Centre): Monday to Friday, 6:30am – 5pm (to coincide with base parking resumption).

Programs and Services (updates and reminders)

• The September Program Guide will soon be available on our website. It is a great source of information on upcoming programs, both virtual and in-person options. Adhering to social distancing requirements means we have limited spaces for in-person programs so we will continue to offer virtual programming so more families can participate.

• Counselling services from a member of our Mental Health & Well-Being Team are available by phone and by appointment.

• One-on-one services in the areas of the support for veterans and their families, special needs navigation, relocation, employment, and deployment, will continue to be available by appointment.

• Deployment Respite Child Care is available at our Shearwater site on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 – 11:30am and 1 – 3pm. Pre-registration is required.

• Play & Learn, a program for parents/caregivers and their youngsters, will offer outdoor activities.

• Our Community Fall Fair takes place from September 20-26, 2020. Throughout the week we will be offering fun activities for everyone, delivered both virtually and in-person.

For more details about our programs, services or general inquiries, please call our information line at 902-427-7788 to speak with a member of our administration team. For urgent matters, this phone line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Please continue to follow us on social media or sign up for our weekly electronic newsletter (eNews) to learn more about new and upcoming programs, services and events. Also, we continually evaluate our programs and services so please share with us your feedback and suggestions.
