Virtual Welcome Package
A GMFRC Web page, which includes easy links to all resources that may be needed by the CF Member and their family when posted to Greenwood such as list of local daycares and nursery schools, 14 Wing related Websites, links to local and provincial agencies and organizations, list of essential services including links to cable companies, school boards, etc…

Greenwood Welcome Package
The Greenwood Welcome Package is filled with information, which provides the new member/family with relevant information about their new community prior to their arrival to Greenwood or shortly thereafter and to ease the transition from one community to another.  For example, 14 Wing Greenwood infrastructures and services, the Greenwood GMFRC programs and services, as well as contact information needed during the family’s relocation (essential services, doctors/dentists, schools, Wing Clubs…) and regional and provincial tourism information and more… Wing Sponsors designated by each unit/section are responsible for picking up and sending a package prior to the member’s arrival.  This doesn’t always happen.  Some members or a member of his/her family may request one through email or telephone.  If the member hasn’t received a package prior to his or her arrival, they will get one when clearing in at the GMFRC Front desk upon their arrival.

New Arrival Registration (All members when clearing in at the GMFRC)
Each CF Member newly posted to 14 Wing Greenwood is required to clear in at the GMFRC Front desk.  The member has to complete a New Arrival Registration Form to provide us with necessary information so we can offer appropriate Welcome Services to them and their family and give them opportunities to connect with members of their new community.  The information collected is only used for purpose for which it was collected and is protected under the Military Family Services Privacy Code

On the form, they are asked to indicate if they want a representative from the GMFRC to give their family a Welcome Call.  They leave with a Welcome Gift Card which invites them to come back with their family for a visit.   When you clear-in, you will be receiving a brand new GMFRC Magnetic Memo Board listing all Wing and GMFRC's important phone numbers.

GMFRC Tours/Visits (Optional)
To help the families to feel welcome in their new community, all members clearing-in receive a “Welcome Gift Card” inviting the newcomers (preferably with the spouse/partner and dependants) to come in for a tour and to receive a Welcome Gift.  On the day of the tour, visitors are greeted by a trained GMFRC staff member who will conduct a tour of the facilities and briefly explain the GMFRC programs/services and answer questions.

Tours or visits of the GMFRC for new arrivals are conducted on a daily basis between 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to  Friday. Evening tours are also available on Monday to Wednesday evenings between 6:00 and 8:00 pm from September to June (subject to change).  CF Members and/or their spouse and family can come in during that period to redeem their coupon and get their Welcome Gift.

Welcome Calls (Optional)
To inform and connect family members with our programs and services, Welcome Calls and follow-up contacts are available for those interested.  CF Members may request that a phone call be placed to their family to welcome them to the area. This question is asked on the GMFRC New Arrivals Registration Form.  Only those who have responded positively will receive a Welcome Call from a GMFRC Representative.

Follow-up contacts (Optional)
During a GMFRC Tour or when placing a Welcome Call, CF Members or a member of their families might want to receive specific information on a program or service.  In that event, the appropriate Coordinator is asked to follow-up with each request for information on their program or services.
