We are pleased to share that the Veteran Family Telemedicine Service (VFTS) is now available to all eligible Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces, their families, and survivors. Signing up is easy and free of charge.

To learn more and register for the VFTS, please visit Maple’s website.

Eligible Veterans that have released on or after 1 April 2025, their families, and survivors can register. The registration period will end on 31 March 2027.

The VFTS is funded through Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) in partnership with the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services. It connects eligible participants to Maple, a national network of Canadian-licensed doctors, nurse practitioners, and healthcare providers who are accessible online via secure text messaging, audio, or video.

Initially launched on 3 January 2022 as a limited time initiative, the VFTS has been extended until 2027.

We encourage you to share this information within your networks.

Sincerely,

Community Engagement Team
