Financial supports and services

Financial Empowerment Program

Increase your financial stability and reduce finance-related stress with Leduc County's Financial Empowerment Program.

Leduc County Family and Community Support Service's (FCSS) Financial Empowerment Program allows you to explore how you can pay your bills, manage your debt, afford basic necessities and get ahead. 

This program is free and confidential. Our trained staff are here to listen and learn about what is important to you, offer you options and provide information based on your needs and interests. You take the lead and set the pace. Your knowledge and living experience is unique to you.

One-to-one* sessions are available to help you:

  • Prepare for income tax season and file your taxes for free** through our Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP). 
  • Learn about the subsidies, grants, benefits and supports that may be available to you.
  • Identify the financial challenges that are holding you back.
  • Create action plans to meet your goals.
  • Access the right support and services through referrals to community agencies that provided specialized financial information and support.
  • Increase your basic money management skills so you can reduce debt, grow savings, build assets and make informed financial decisions.

In addition to one-to-one support, we also offer information sessions and workshops on a variety of financial literacy-related topics. Check out upcoming events and view past recordings on our community and family support webpage.

If you're interested in the Financial Empowerment Program, contact Leduc County FCSS at 780-979-2385 or fcssinfo@leduc-county.com. 

*One-to-one sessions are available to residents of Leduc County, Calmar, Thorsby and Warburg.

**The volunteer income tax program does not complete returns for people who are deceased, bankrupt, or have business, farming or rental income.


Prosper Canada

Leduc County is one of a select group of Canadian municipalities to partner with Prosper Canada on the Prosperity Gateways-Cities for Financial Empowerment project to improve the financial well-being of residents living on low income. Financial help includes education, coaching/counselling, free tax clinics and help accessing income benefits.
