In October we held our Provincial Flag Raising event at the Federal Building in Edmonton, in honour of Foster and Kinship Caregiver Month in Alberta. Though this video is somewhat untimely due to production matters, it is important to us to share it with Alberta’s caregivers and the province.

While appreciation month is dedicated as an October recognition event, foster and kinship caregivers deserve acknowledgement, gratitude, and appreciation all year long, as what they do is an everyday commitment, and their dedication to the wellbeing of children and youth in care is deeply valued.

On behalf of the Alberta Foster and Kinship Association, ALIGN Association of Community Services, and the Ministry of Children’s Services, thank you so much for all you do for supporting the children and youth in your care and working diligently as a valued member of their team looking out for their needs!
