This month we are talking with Crystal Donak about:


About Crystal:

Crystal has been a military partner for 12 years. 

In that time, she was the Vice Chair of the PMFRC Board of Directors for several years - and completed original research on how military families and MFRCs engage and communicate with each other. This original research resulted in the development of a communication model detailing how information flows between bases, military members, their families and MFRCs as a family is posted to a base. 

During Crystal’s first posting with her spouse, she quickly realized that moving frequently could significantly impact her career - so such decided to launch a digital business that could move with her. As a result of needing to constantly flex her resiliency and problem-solving skills, she decided to launch a business which teaches kids to develop those skills as an elementary student; called Kaper Kids. 

Crystal and her two young daughters create kits that help kids learn resiliency and problem-solving through an ongoing, personalized and interactive storyline. 

Throughout her time as a military spouse, Crystal has lived in Ottawa, Petawawa, and Hamilton and is currently in Comox, BC.
