Did you have fun at last year's DND Family Days? We did too!
This year, as Navys from around the world start sailing into the Halifax Harbour as part of the International Fleet Review Week (IFR), Canadian Forces Halifax Personnel Support Programs (PSP) is excited to host Family Appreciation Day. To make room for all the exciting events happening with IFR, we have combined all the great elements of DND Family Days into one fun filled day.
This Family Appreciation Day is organized to thank all Canadian Forces military, civilian and NPF members and their families for their support over the past year. So, mark your calendars, as this year's Family Appreciation Day will be held on 25 June, 2010.
Family Appreciation Day will include:

ID / Security Requirements
CF members and DND employees are also reminded of the security requirements when entering the Dockyard. All personnel will require a DND ID, a military family ID (MFID) or be accompanied by a military or civilian member with an ID. All non-DND personnel entering the Dockyard accompanied by a DND member, military or civilian, will require a picture ID, with the exception of children under the age of 12.
MFID cards are available to immediate family members of military personnel at the Shearwater and Halifax MFRCs. The military member must be present to sign the card. If the member is deployed, a temporary ID can be issued, but the member’s service number is required. MFIDs are issued to family members 12 and older. For information, call the Halifax MFRC at 427-7788 or Shearwater at 720-1885.
Unfortunately dogs are not allowed during Family Days 2010.
Backpacks and similar items are discouraged, as they may be subject to search and this delays entrance to the site.
