Body
Purpose:
The presentation is to provide an update to Governance and Priorities Committee on the Parkland County Family and Community Support Services program, as provided in the attached Administrative Report and Presentation.
Summary:
Parkland County offers the Family and Community Support Service Program to County residents through a combination of direct program delivery in the area of community development and additional programs and service delivery options offered through our partnership with our neighbour municipalities. A review of how Parkland County delivers FCSS programs and services was conducted in 2010 which identified three key areas of focus for the future which were collaboration, accountability and meeting specific needs of parkland county residents.
The presentation will provide an update on how these key areas of focus are being addressed; as well as an update from our partners on programs and services being offered to County residents.
Administrative Position:
Administration supports the recommendation.
