Regional Programs
FCSS programs depend on community resources, often involving local volunteers for their management and delivery.
As a regional service, programs are available to all residents in the County.
Locations are strategically chosen hot spots, but don’t let that stop you from checking out the various services available!
Community
These programs are specifically developed to create connections within our communities. They range from support for new residents to recognizing volunteers in the region and creating avenues for residents to meet. FCSS also administers Community Counselling throughout the year.
Seniors
FCSS has a number of programs designed for the seniors, such as Meals on Wheels (to deliver nutritious meals) or assist with applications for Alberta Seniors Benefits. Support is also provided to the caregivers in our region, with Caregiver Support Packages given to those caring for the seniors in their lives.
Youth
Youth programs are designed for age groups 0-18, allowing both youth and their caregivers to develop new friendships and create new bonds. Free summer programming is available for children ages 7-12, beginning in July in the communities of Mallaig, Ashmont, and Elk Point.
Family
FCSS offers a variety of programs designed for parents and caregivers, catering to various backgrounds. The programs aim to provide caregivers with tools to enhance the connections between families and the community.
Partner Programs
Falling under the FCSS group, extended programming exists for families, caregivers, and youth through the organizations below.
Lakeland Family Resource Network (LFRN)
Supporting families through child development and well-being programs builds resilient kids. LFRN offers programming to all families with children 0-18 years old, aiming to strengthen family connections and build caregiver capacity. The network brings in educated professionals who create fun, enriching activities for parents and children while answering questions and providing support.
St. Paul & Elk Point Youth Councils
St. Paul Youth Council (SPYC) & Elk Point Youth Council (EPYC) are both FCSS-backed groups for youth, led by youth. SPYC & EPYC plan and host fun, meaningful events and activities for youth across the St. Paul and Elk Point regions. The Councils provide youth with opportunities to build leadership skills, get creative, make new friends, and try something new!
