From Op ATHENA in Afghanistan to Op PALLADIUM in Bosnia or Op HALO in Haiti, CF members are making important contributions to international security and safety. Many CFPSA services are designed and delivered specifically to meet their needs whether they are deployed abroad, on Canadian warships at sea, or in remote areas of Canada.

PSP, a division of CFPSA, provides CF members with day-to-day slices of home via newspapers, magazines, movies, books, and through Canadian Forces Radio and Television (CFRT), with live 24/7 Canadian satellite television and radio in both French and English from across Canada.

Support is also offered through Operation SANTA CLAUS, in which thousands of holiday gift packages are assembled each year and delivered to deployed members. In addition, PSP provides Rest and Recreation (R&R) funding at operational missions to provide recreational products, services and to enable short recreational leave periods to take place for all deployed members serving the operation.
