We are sharing important changes to the Veteran Family Telemedicine Service (VFTS), effective February 9, 2026.

The VFTS provides Veterans of the CAF, their families and/or survivors who do not have a primary health care provider with access to Maple, a national virtual care network of licensed physicians and nurse practitioners.

Eligibility for the VFTS was expanded to include all Veterans of the CAF—not just medically released Veterans—their families and/or survivors. Also, the service now offers two years of access for new users and an additional year for current users.

Veterans of the CAF who released on or after April 1, 2025 and their family members as well as surviving family members of deceased CAF members who died on or after April 1, 2025 are eligible if they do not have a regular primary care provider (excluding walk‑ins) and do not have access to cost‑free virtual care services in their jurisdiction.

Eligible CAF Veterans, family members and/or survivors have until March 31, 2027, to register for the service.

The Veteran Family Telemedicine Service is funded through Veterans Affairs Canada in partnership with Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services.

Nous souhaitons vous aviser de modifications importantes au service de télémédecine pour les familles des vétérans (STFV) qui sont en vigueur depuis le 9 février 2026.

Le STFV permet aux vétéranes et vétérans des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC), aux membres de leur famille et aux survivantes et survivants qui n’ont pas accès à un fournisseur de soins primaires d’accéder à Maple, un réseau national de soins virtuels offerts par des médecins et des infirmières praticiennes et infirmiers praticiens autorisés.

L’admissibilité a été élargie à l’ensemble des vétéranes et vétérans des FAC, pas seulement aux personnes libérées pour des raisons médicales, ainsi qu’aux familles et aux survivantes et survivants. En outre, le service de télémédecine offre désormais un accès de deux ans aux nouvelles utilisatrices et nouveaux utilisateurs et un an supplémentaire aux utilisatrices et utilisateurs actuels.

Les vétéranes et vétérans des FAC libérés au plus tôt le 1er avril 2025 et leurs familles ainsi que les familles des militaires dont le décès est survenu au plus tôt à cette même date sont admissibles seulement s’ils n’ont aucun accès à un fournisseur de soins primaires habituel (sauf pour les visites sans rendez-vous) ou à des services de soins virtuels gratuits dans leur province ou territoire.

Les personnes admissibles ont jusqu’au 31 mars 2027 pour s’inscrire au service.

Le STFV est financé par Anciens Combattants Canada et offert en partenariat avec les Services de bien-être et moral des Forces canadiennes.

April 7th, 2026

This April, Canadians from coast to coast to coast will come together to “Teal Up” — honouring the resilient and strong children of our service members. These remarkable young people stand behind our service members with strength, adaptability, and pride, embodying courage in their own unique way.

On April 7th, 2026, communities nationwide will raise the Teal Up flag, marking the official start of Teal Up Month — a month dedicated to recognizing, celebrating, and supporting military-connected children and youth across the country.

From city halls and schools to military bases and community centres, flags will fly high in teal as we unite in gratitude and awareness. This collective gesture reminds every military child that their sacrifices and resilience do not go unnoticed.
