FCSSAA Milestones<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1970<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

Known as Preventive Social Services at the time, the initial FCSS programs of Alberta began to grow steadily in number as communities expanded.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1977<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

The precursor to the FCSSAA, the Preventive Social Services Association of Alberta was formally incorporated, staffed entirely by volunteers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1981<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

The Government of Alberta renamed Preventive Social Services to Family and Community Support Services. The FCSSAA duly changed its name to match \u2013 and received a provincial grant for the first time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1987<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

After years of consideration, the Constitution of the FCSSAA was amended for the first time, reevaluating the regional boundaries of each FCSS program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1996<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

With FCSS programming being moved to Municipal Affairs, FCSSAA membership numbers dropped steadily through the 90s. A motion was made to dissolve the FCSSAA entirely in 1996. Thankfully, the motion was defeated and the FCSSAA has grown tremendously since then.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Today<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

With a thriving community of FCSS programs united under its banner, the FCSSAA continues to act as a strong voice to the government on their behalf, as well as helping them to forge resilient communities and provide preventive social service programming across Alberta.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":15,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"courseId":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-271","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nHistory -
