Welcome to our First Annual Frontline Families Retreat!!! This retreat is designed to provide a space of rest, healing, and connection for families who have experienced the unique challenges that come from the loss of a frontline service member. Our retreat is open to spouses who have lost a first responder in Canada, and their surviving children 4 years of age to 18 years of age.
Throughout this retreat, you and your children will have the opportunity to participate in activities that foster relaxation, reflection, adventure and bonding with others who share similar experiences. Whether through group discussions, outdoor activities, or quiet moments of personal reflection, we hope this time will bring comfort, renewal, and a sense of community.
We deeply appreciate your sacrifices and strength as a frontline family, and we are grateful to share this journey with you.

Continuing the Journey: Finding Meaning and Connection
For widows/widowers whose children have aged out of our family retreats, Frontline Families Canada offers new opportunities for healing and connection. You are warmly invited to attend our adults-only retreats, where you can continue your personal journey in a supportive and understanding environment. Additionally, you may choose to return as a volunteer at our family retreats either as a retreat leader or session leader, sharing your experiences and compassion to help guide others through their healing process. Whether as a participant or a mentor, there is always a place for you in our community.
