What is Mindfulness? In a nutshell, mindfulness is about being completely in touch with the present moment and being open to

experiences as they come.

“Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; On purpose, in the present moment, nonjudgmentally.” ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn

An interesting article to read on the benefits of mindfulness: http://www.psychalive.org/benefits-of-mindfulness/

“The greatest poverty that can afflict the human spirit is the loss of a generous heart. You will know that

success has slipped away when your passion for helping others grows cold.” –Bill Lane Doulos

Top Eleven Reasons to Volunteer

1. To learn something about yourself

2. To have fun!!

3. Because you’re passionate about a cause

4. To explore career possibilities

5. It’s time to get off the coach

6. Learn some new skills

7. To fulfill graduation requirements

8. Make someone else’s day

9. Volunteering looks REALLY good on college applications

10. Feel good about yourself!

11. It’s time to do something! Apathy is boring.

Join our team of “Busy Bees” you won’t regret it!

We are enjoying a beautiful spring. Some of the upcoming events at the North Bay Military Family Resource Centre that we need volunteers for are:

Wing Welcome/Family Fun Fair September 2017 (More information to follow)

If you are interested in helping out with these events or volunteering for the MFRC please call Pamela.

Being a board member is an opportunity to learn new skills and make a positive contribution to our community while at the same time sharing your own education, skills and talents. The role of the Board of Directors is to provide governance to our organization. They work quietly behind the scenes making decisions that result in positive and significant changes at the centre. These changes encourage growth and improvement in our programs and services. Board volunteers give a precious resource - their time. If you are interested in finding out more about this opportunity please call Pam.

Wanted!

Military Spouses to join our Board of Directors

A special goodbye to our board member Carol Steeves. Best wishes in your new career!

Everything I Need To Know I Learned From the Easter Bunny

Do you have a Family Care Plan?

The Family Care Plan (FCP) is designed to ensure that you have a plan in place to care for your family in

the event of an emergency callout, planned deployment or unforeseen situation. Share your plan with the caregivers identified in your FCP so that they are prepared to assist your family as quickly as possible in

times of emergency. At a lost on where to start? We can help.

If all else fails, be assured that the Emergency Child Care program will be there to provide immediate,

qualified and subsidized care to support your Family Care Plan. Our Emergency Child Care Program is designed to be a back up plan in case your FCP fails. Our program is accessible 24 hrs a day. For more

information about our Emergency Child Care policy (emergency child care, respite and casual care), please call Diane.

Don’t put all your eggs in the same basket.

Walk softly and carry a big carrot.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

There’s no such thing as too much candy.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Some body parts should be floppy.

Keep your paws off other people’s jellybeans.

The grass is never greener in someone else’s basket.

An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare.

To show your true colours you have to come out of your shell.

ROAD TO MENTAL READINESS (R2MR) TRAINING An Educational Deployment Training Offered to Spouses

One-on-one training session

Road to Mental Readiness is a Deployment Educational Training Program to better equip members

and their families with Pre-deployments, Deployments, Post-Deployments and absences due to frequent trainings.

Deployment is a fact of military life. For most CAF personnel the opportunity to deploy around the

world, making a difference in lives of others is what prompted their desire to join in the first place. However, for military families, managing deployments can be particularly challenging: extended

separations, increased workloads, anxiety over the safety of their loved one, and managing transition and reintegration issues upon completion of the tour all amount to stress.

Overall Objectives of R2MR Training Better understand the familial challenges associated with deployment

Increase awareness about mental health

Learn new tools and approaches to manage familial stress of deployment

Recognize personal and external resources to foster mental health and well-being in the family.

Separations can be hard. Come on over to your Military Family Resource Centre and let’s get

together for approx. 2 hours and we’ll do the training program to better assist you and your family with the deployment of your loved one. For more information contact Linda.

We are excited to introduce you to Alexis!

This is 3 year old Alexis, her brother Kayden and her

mother Joleen. You could say that even before Alexis

was born, she knew what military life was all about!

Her mother served in the military while she was

pregnant with Alexis! Alexis was born in Victoria, B.C.

and didn’t experience her first real northern winter until

she was 2 years old when her Dad was posted to

Northern Ontario. Alexis’ brother Kayden is 6 years old,

was born in Belleville, ON and has already had 3

military family relocations! Joleen describes Alexis as

“someone who easily fits in and makes friends in any

situation, I think that is a benefit of being a military

child”. We loved having Alexis drop into the MFRC,

thank you for your service as a military child Alexis and

Kayden!

We are excited to introduce you to Alston and Kayla! This is 4 year old Alston and his sister Kayla. Alston did his first military move, to North Bay when he was10 months old! And what a move it was, all the way from San Antonio, Texas! Kayla has also experienced her fair share of military moves, from Virginia, across the southern United States and finally to CFB North Bay. This southern girl doesn't like the cold and snow, but finds North Bay summers fantastic! Alston has a lot of energy and loves school, going to the gym and playing outside! Sometimes shy, he warms up quickly and loves to tell jokes. Alston's mom Tracy says that travelling and staying in a hotel is very exciting to Alston. His excitement and positive outlook about travel makes the challenges of relocation easier for all of us!

April is the month of the Military Children

In celebrating we would like to recognize some of children at 22 Wing North Bay.

Les Familles Comptent CRFM de North Bay

Avril est le mois de l’enfant militaire

La fleur officielle de l'enfant militaire est le pissenlit. Pour-

quoi? Parce que la plante s'enracine presque partout, et elle est

presque impossible à détruire. C'est une plante sans prétention,

mais belle. C'est une survivante dans un large éventail de cli-

mats. Les enfants de militaires fleurissent partout où les vents

les portent. Ils sont robustes et droits. Leurs racines sont fortes,

cultivées dans la culture de l'armée, plantées rapidement et su-

rement. Ils sont prêts à voler dans les brises qui les emportent

pour de nouvelles aventures, de nouvelles terres et de nouveaux

amis.

Les experts disent que l'enfant militaire est culturellement ou-

vert, tolèrent et extrêmement résistant. Les enfants de mili-

taires ont appris dès leur jeune âge que la maison est là où les

coeurs sont. Qu'un ami peut se trouver dans les 4 coins du

monde et dans toutes les couleurs. Que l'éducation ne vient pas

seulement de l'école. Ils vivent l'histoire. Ils apprennent que pour

survivre, le meilleur moyen est de s'adapter. Que chaque cha-

pitre qui se ferme ouvre la porte sur de nouvelles aventures pas-

sionnantes.

Qu’est-ce que la Pleine conscience?

“Pleine conscience signifie faire attention de façon particulière; par exprès, au moment présent et sans juger.” ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn

“ La plus grande pauvreté qui peut affliger l’esprit humain est la perte d’un cœur généreux. Vous réaliserez que le succès vous échappe quand vous n’aurez plus de

passion à aider les autres.”

–Bill Lane Doulos

2. Pour avoir du plaisir.

3. Parce que vous êtes passionné pour une cause.

4. Pour explorer des possibilités de carrière.

5. C’est le temps de se lever du sofa .

6. Pour apprendre de nouvelles habiletés.

7. Pour remplir les exigences de graduation.

8. Pour embellir la journée d’une autre personne.

9. Parce que le bénévolat est bien vu sur une demande d’admission au collège. 10. Pour vous sentir bien. 11. C’est le temps d’agir ! L’apathie est ennuyante.
