FCSS Vision, Beliefs, Mission & Mandate
Leduc County FCSS is a branch of the Family and Community Support Services Association of Alberta (FCSSAA). All FCSS community branches in Alberta adhere to the vision, beliefs, mission and mandate set out by this organization.
Vision
Alberta's diverse people building strong communities through positive, caring interaction and mutual respect.
Beliefs
A community's most valuable resources are its people. Investments made in developing and supporting people impact all areas of community life.
We can make valuable contributions to our communities. Our communities need the contributions of us all.
Voluntarism is inherently valuable in that it allows us, as citizens, to contribute directly to our community, which in turn is linked to positive outcomes for individual volunteers.
Partnerships are fundamental to community building.
Municipalities and Métis settlements can support individuals, families and communities by providing well-designed preventive social programs.
Each municipality and Métis settlement has unique programming needs and is best able to determine what its own needs are.
Mission
Family and Community Support Services is a partnership between the Province, Municipalities and Métis settlements that develops locally driven preventive social initiatives to enhance the well-being of individuals, families and communities.
Mandate
Provincially, the FCSS Program receives its mandate from the Family and Community Support Services Act and the Family and Community Support Services Regulation pursuant to that act. At the local level, the Municipal or Metis Settlement council chooses whether to establish a program, and enters into an agreement with the Province to jointly fund the program.
