Strengthening the Forces is a Health Promotion program designed to assist Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel, to take control of their health and well-being. Maintaining a high level of health improves one’s ability to perform effectively and safely on CAF operations, and to enjoy a high quality of life. The emphasis in Health Promotion is PREVENTION of health-related concerns as opposed to treatment.
Who can attend?
All Strengthening the Forces programs and workshops are open to military personnel (Reg and Res force), retired military personnel AND their spouses. Where space and resources allow, DND and NPF civilian employees are welcome to participate. Must be 18 or older.
