Community Connections
This service area supports the development, promotion, and delivery of program initiatives that enhance the quality of life for the community. The Community Connections Coordinator works on building capacity for community well-being, giving residents a sense of responsibility, appreciation, and engagement with the community; promoting volunteerism and raising awareness of the power of service in the community; and providing leadership and advocacy on issues relating to community programs.
Do you see a volunteer making a difference? You can apply for $25 to purchase something thoughtful to lift them up. Even though National Volunteer Week has passed, we still have gift cards available.

Neighbourly Notes of Kindness
Even though we're not able to get together through Neighbourhood Block Parties, let's build some neighbourly connections! You can gift your neighbour and inspire kindness. A complimentary gift card will be provided to you (limited quantities).
Hinton's Parent Link Centre operated for 14 years until March, 2020 when provincial funding was withdrawn. The Town of Hinton is pleased to offer the Hinton Family Centre - a play space where families can connect and have access to education and resources. We welcome you to 805 Switzer Drive on the backside of the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre. Visit our Family Resource Network Facebook page or see below August programs/events.
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.
Join us this month by using the ZOOM link here!
