Those who serve in occupations to defend and protect our personal and civil liberties strongly benefit from the support of family, mentors, peer networks and service providers. What though do we know of the family members, particularly the civilian or non-serving spouses who serve at home while their loved one is serving their country?

Realities of Life for the Military Family

In November 2013, CAF Ombudsman Pierre Daigle tendered a special report to the Minister of National Defence.62 This report examined how well the families of today’s Canadian Armed Forces were doing. As a preamble to the findings of the report, Daigle provided some important contextual points:

Canada has been engaged in continuous military operations since 1990.

This engagement is more complex and challenging than in recent previous military operations.

The duration and challenges of this type of military engagement have taken a toll on families.

There has been an increase in the number of family-related complaints to the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces.
