Stronger Together
Camrose & District FCSS is a multi-municipal agreement with the municipalities of Camrose County, City of Camrose, and the Villages of Bawlf, Bittern Lake, Edberg, Hay Lakes, and Rosalind.
Our mission is to design and deliver social support services that inform and improve the well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
Customized Prevention Strategies for Our Community
Our support services focus on preventing problems before they require crisis support. We prioritize early intervention to address issues before they escalate, aligning with the prevention strategies outlined by the provincial FCSS Grant Program. This approach enables us to apply these strategies in a manner that meets the unique needs of our local community.
Provincial Prevention Priorities
FCSS programs serve all demographics, addressing local social issues and priorities, while enhancing strengths and addressing risks, based on provincial prevention priorities.
The Government of Alberta has identified the following key social issues affecting Albertans.
Homelessness and housing insecurity
Mental health and addictions
Employment
Family and sexual violence across the lifespan
Aging well in the community

Supporting Our Community Since 1967
Started in 1967 Camrose & District Support Services (CDSS) as an organization distributed FCSS funds to community organizations to deliver services.
CDSS Board of Directors began the work of an organizational review, subsequent restructure to position our organization best to respond to community social needs.
A new incorporated society was formed under the name Camrose & District FCSS Association.
Six of the funded Societies and Charities ceased operations and begin the process of voluntarily dissolving and revoking charitable status.
Camrose & District FCSS continued the operations of these six programs to ensure seamless service delivery, now, under the Camrose & District FCSS Association umbrella.
