Family Military Resource Centre Funding Cancelled in Hamilton

Friday April 9, 2010 

Today I learned a sad truth, in that funding has been cancelled for the FMRC in Hamilton. I have heared rumours of this before, but was rather shocked today when I learned from several different sources of the changes.

Personally, it has been a whirl-wind of changes in the military world, my old unit was renamed as well, which sounds like another funding issue as well, I am all for streamlining and making things work better, but it has been a lot of stuff that has been happening of late, some rather disturbing.

Seems like the cuts for support issues will be a lasting one, to do it now when we have troops overseas in combat roles does not seem like the right thing to do at a time like this personally.

But then again, we do live in a different financial world nowadays, so things are definetly being run a lot tighter, and that I guess we all need to respect and understand….to a point….

So, starting today, we will start a ” Made in Hamilton” solution to all of this, and I am going to start our own sources of funding and further our reach and build on the support that the families need and deserve.
