***Please note that we may not have received your contact details via the absence/deployment form of your military relative. As a result, you may not have been contacted for the service offer or courtesy calls. However, the services remain available by directly contacting the sector.

For any questions, feel free to contact the staff member in charge of absences at (450) 358-7099, ext. 2911, or by email at: SvcPersInfoAbsenceCRFM@forces.gc.ca.

DAG/2050 FORM

The DAG/2050 form must be completed by the military member prior to any absence. With the military member’s authorization, the CRFM takes responsibility for communicating with the family and loved ones to offer support services during the absence, as well as comfort calls, if desired.
