You Were Asking? Here is a list of our Frequently Asked Questions

In an effort to improve communication between the PMFRC and the community, we are expanding our website to include more information about the agency. 

1.  Where does the PMFRC fall in the chain of command?

The PMFRC is not a part of the chain of command.  It is a not for profit organization that is governed by a board of directors.  Both brigade and base have representatives that sit on the board as non voting members.  PMFRC works in partnership with both the base and the Department of National Defence (through the Director of Military Family Services) to provide programs and services to military families. 

2.  Who makes up the board of directors? 

The board of directors voting members is a group of volunteers that represent the community.  A minimum of 51% of the voting members must be military spouses.  Non voting members (ex-officio) include the executive director of the PMFRC and representatives from both brigade and base. Click here to meet our Board of Directors or express your interest.

3.  What is the purpose of an Annual General Meeting? 

All not for profit organizations are required to hold annual general meetings.  It serves as an opportunity for the community represented by the board of directors to choose the individuals who represent, a review of the past year, and to approve the financial statements for the past year.

4.  Where does the PMFRC get the funds to conduct its business? 

The PMFRC receives funds from a number of different sources.  We work in partnership with a number of different agencies including, but not limited too CFB Petawawa; Director of Military Family Services; United Way;  Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities; The Killaloe Community Resource Centre; The Phoenix Centre for Children and Families; and Ontario Early Years.  Funding is also acquired through corporate/personal donations and fundraising.
