I want to welcome you to the website and, also, to the youth activities organized for the 8-11's and 12-17 year-olds here at CFB Suffield. We host field trips, specialty nights, dances and all sorts of fun events including drop in sessions at the Youth Club.

To become a member of the Youth Club, you must complete a registration form, which can be submitted in-person at the MFRC. Annual registration is $5.00 and the nightly drop-in fee is $1.00. The Youth Club has playstations, wii consoles, a pool table, sports equipment, projection TV, music center, crafts and lots of comfortable couches for the youth to socialise.

A Place Where You Count!
The MFRC serves and supports a small close-knit, caring community in Ralston, and have created a safe and encouraging environment for our youth. Our Youth Club has formed it's own Youth Advisory Committee. Through committee work our youth experience first-hand how to work as a team, with the goal of developing and maintaining the youth program/s a key aspect.
