Red Deer County is a municipal partner in the Red Deer and District FCSS Board. This partnership has been in existence since 1974. County residents are able to access FCSS Services and Programs within the City of Red Deer.
Community Workers
Through a variety of approaches, the FCSS Community Workers provide direct services to the community or empower the local community to take action on broader community social matters. They also act as an information and referral agent to ensure that residents are connected with appropriate social services within the region.
Under the direction and guidance of the Family and Community Support Services Act and Regulation, communities design and deliver programs that are preventative in nature to promote and enhance the well being among individuals, families and communities.
