This February, learn about the inspirational stories of Black Canadian veterans like Harrison William Ryan.

During the month of February, we are encouraging everyone to read the stories and learn the history of Black Canadian Veterans, in honour of Black History Month.

Stories like that of Harrison William Ryan. Harrison William Ryan was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and was raised by his maternal grandparents, Albert and Charlotte Ryan.

At the age of 17, Ryan enlisted in the Canadian Army on June 30, 1941. He was deployed to England in September 1941 and served as a Nursing Orderly with the 22/21 Field Ambulance Unit and the 5th General Hospital. His role involved providing essential medical care to wounded soldiers.

Our Story

Whether you’re a Canadian Armed Forces member (CAF), veteran, family member, loved one or friend, you understand and appreciate the unique challenges that make being in the military an occupation different from any other. At the Calgary Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) we aim to help lessen the impact of these challenges. We support families of CAF members within our service area of Southern Alberta, including Red Deer and south to Lethbridge. Our programs and services include prevention, support and intervention services, social activities and events (Stampede Breakfast, Christmas party), personal development workshops, family separation and reunification support, counselling, crisis intervention, child and youth programs, discounted admission passes, and more. The Calgary MFRC is located in the Currie Barracks, on the west side of Crowchild Trail SW The MFRC is in the General Waters Building (41 CBG HQ), in Room #128
