Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) strives to enhance, strengthen and stabilize individual, family and community life by assisting persons to identify and act on their own social needs. FCSS is a partnership between the province, municipalities and Métis settlements that develops locally-driven preventative social initiatives to enhance the well-being of individuals, families and communities. Local participation in FCSS began in 1973, five years following its introduction by the Province of Alberta.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Closed on statutory holidays
