Assiniboine College and Canadian Forces Base Shilo’s Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) have signed a memorandum of understanding designed to expand learning opportunities for Canadian Armed Forces members and their families. Assiniboine will receive a dedicated space at Shilo MFRC’s facility for training, in addition to receiving access to other areas on CFB Shilo for specialized programming. Assiniboine Dean of Community Development Michael Cameron and MFRC Executive Director Rob Lavin expressed excitement at the possibilities arising from the agreement, with Cameron stating that the agreement fulfils a need for education close to where people live and work. Cameron said that the work is currently underway to determine meaningful programming offerings for the CFB Shilo community.
