Family & Community Support Services (FCSS)

As a community, we care.

Together, the Town of Vermilion FCSS facilitates and cares for our local residents. FCSS is a joint municipal and provincial partnership that supports preventative social programs, facilitates the development of programs and provides funding for human services.

For funding, and to ensure your group or project fits the FCSS criteria, please contact Carol Coleman or call (780) 581-2413.

Application deadline for year-round programs for the next calendar budget year is the last Friday in September. Other funding applications may be accepted after that time.  Click here for the FCSS Funding Application form.

The FCSS program also assists seniors in accessing the benefits they are eligible for, connect them to local resources, provide educational opportunities and promote independent living in the community. We focus on meeting the specific needs and offer a range of support for our elderly, including:

• Advocate on behalf of our seniors
• Establish and strengthen connections with our seniors
• Encourage our seniors to be active in the community
• Reach out to vulnerable seniors
• Create opportunities for participation in the development of new life skills
• Support and assist our seniors to live independently

For Seniors Support, contact Shirley McRobert or call (780) 581-2414
