**** These meetings can take place at the Centre, at your house, or at your spouse’s unit (when applicable).

We organise monthly social activities.

If you wish so, we can call you at home to ensure everything is all right and get news from you.

When CF members report to the Centre to complete their departure formalities, we ask them to have a questionnaire completed by their spouses or close relatives in order to help us offer them the best service possible and meet their expectations.

If your spouse has left without giving you the questionnaire, do not hesitate to contact us!

We will be pleased to inform you about our services!
