== Personnel support programs in Canada ==
Personnel support programs (PSPs) provide [[morale]] and [[welfare spending|welfare]] services for [[Canadian Forces]] (CF) men and women, and their families. PSPs are part of non -public funds (NPFs), meaning that they do not directly receive taxpayer money.  They are, however, closely related to the publicly funded [[Department of National Defence (Canada)|Department of National Defence]].  PSPs contribute to the formation's operational readiness by keeping the CF community fit and healthy in both mind and body.

PSPs are involved in every aspect of a CF community member's fitness, sport and recreational activities.
