On September 20th, several employees from CFPSA and National Defence Headquarters attended the official launch of the Centrepointe website. This new virtual Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC), was designed to provide resources available at “brick and mortar” MFRCs in Canada to CF families living in Europe.

Whether you presently live in Europe or think you may be deployed there in the near future, we invite you visit our website at www.centrepointe-europe.ca to obtain your password and benefit from this state of the art resource.

	Yvan Beaupré, Director Accounting and Payroll Services, is enjoying the interactive section of the site which contains such things as a coloring book, an animated story book, a European culture quiz, a European map with location info, chat rooms, and more. There is even film clip of a local dentist advertising his sevices.
