Her guidance assisted the MFRC in finding safe ways to continue to provide support to our military members and their families during these challenging times. The MFRC honoured Dr. Henry for her dedication by presenting her with a beautiful framed art piece by L. Gibbs that included a plaque that reads: Thank You Dr. Bonnie Henry for leading the way to keep our Military Families safe.
