Even though we're not able to get together through Neighbourhood Block Parties, let's build some neighbourly connections! This April, you can gift your neighbour and inspire kindness. A complimentary gift card will be provided to you (limited quantities).
Hinton's Parent Link Centre ran for 14 years until March, 2020 due to the elimination of provincial funding. The Town of Hinton is pleased to announce that as of January 2021 there will once again be a space where families can connect as well as have access to education and resources. We welcome you to check out our Hinton Family Centre space once COVID-19 restrictions are reduced! Watch for opening announcements on our Facebook page.
Interagency
Each month, a facilitated meeting with local not-for-profit organizations and agencies is hosted by FCSS. This is an opportunity for collaboration, connection, and resource-sharing among local organizations. This is supplemented by an email list that shares organizations’ events, news, and updates.
We meet every third Thursday from September to June and are currently connecting over ZOOM due to COVID-19 restrictions.
