Message from the Executive Director

April 29, 2021

A year ago our military community faced a tragic loss, and today we pause to reflect for our thoughts remain with the families of: Captain Brenden Ian MacDonald, Captain Kevin Hagen, Captain Maxime Miron-Morin, Master Corporal Matthew Cousins, Sub-Lieutenant Matthew Pyke, and Sub-Lieutenant Abbigail Cowbrough.

This tragedy affected our 12 Wing community, the crew of HMCS Fredericton, the entire Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) community, and beyond. Nova Scotians and Canadians showed an outpouring of support and appreciation for CAF members and their families, including individuals, groups, and businesses who reached out to help.

Our H&R MFRC team has felt privileged for being entrusted to support military families – how and when you have needed us. Your resilience, unity, and unwavering support for each other speak to the closely knit community that is the military. And as military families, you are connected by your shared experience of military life. On behalf of the staff and Board of Directors, I sincerely thank you for your service.

We will remember them.

Shelley Hopkins

Executive Director
