New to the Site
 

Hi everyone, my name is Janet and I'm new to the site. I was told to add my link and a discription to this Board.

I'm the Founder/Director of Canadian Military Families. www.canadianmilitaryfamilies.ca I'm choosing to use my homepage introduction for the discription here because it says it all.

************************************************** ***

Canadian Military Families (CMF) was created to fill a void of support for military families in Canada. In June of 2001 with a handful of members the site began. It has now grown to close to 200 members. The membership includes, but is not limited to: Canadian Forces soldiers, retired soldiers, spouses and parents. There is a wealth of information researched by the members and from the members’ own experiences and more added daily.

Originally based as a MSN group Janet Bishop, the founder of CMF, has moved the community to their own .ca site. Now this very active site generates a million hits per month. Operating on funds from Bishop’s pocket and countless volunteer hours, this site has become the lifeline for many military spouses while their husbands are deployed or even while they are away on exercise. Most importantly this site emphasizes that although a spouse may be lonely while their soldier is away, they are definitely not alone.

Canadian Military Families is a warm and welcoming environment, where no question is too trivial and no story is unappreciated. The members of that site learn from one another and turn to each other for support and guidance. The Canadian Forces is a close knit community and as a member of that community you are not alone and the people at Canadian Military Families are always there to help you cope with this, “Unique Lifestyle”.

Thank you very much for letting me share CMF with you and I look forward to reading more on the boards here!!
