About Today's Family News

Today’s Family News (TFN) is provided by Focus on the Family Canada. TFN provides credible and relevant news stories, research and analysis that support and promote Canadian families. Our work is based on a recognition of the intrinsic value of all human life and the crucial role played by the family in the nation-building process.

Focus on the Family Canada

We are a champion for the family, providing resources and solutions that work. Today, with a ministry that impacts hundreds of thousands, we are uniquely positioned to expand our role as Canada's premier family organization.

Focus on the Family Canada opened its doors in 1983. From that point on, Focus on the Family Canada has continued to grow and develop in order to meet the diverse needs of the Canadian family.

Currently, we are impacting international and national policy initiatives as well as empowering individuals to make a difference in their communities. We are increasing our volunteer base and seminar/event presence in Canada. We are coming alongside churches to provide care and resources to clergy and their families. We are also blessed to talk directly with Canadian callers, to pray with them and support them as they journey through all stages of life.

We do these things while maintaining our foundation in supplying parents, spouses, teens and children with magazines, books and resources that are relevant and encouraging.

Our vision is rooted in the foundational teachings of Jesus Christ. Our aim is to promote love for God and love for our neighbours. The family, as the heart of Canada, is the first place we look to strengthen relationships to reflect the love of Christ.
