Program Discontinued Effective July 1, 2026

After serving Foothills County, Vulcan County and Claresholm and area since 1999, Wild Rose Community Connections will no longer be providing the “First Years for Families” Home Visitation Program.

The good news is, the Greater Foothills Family Resource Network will be taking the reins and adding this valuable service to their existing programming.

Starting and growing a family is one of life’s greatest experiences. It can also be full of questions, stresses and frustrations. The team of Family Support Workers will continue to help families navigate these early years with home visits, screening and assessments. If your family is in need of support, you will be assigned a consistent, compassionate and experienced professional to help your family build a strong foundation for the future of your little ones.

For more information on how to connect with this service please call: 403 652-8633 or Toll Free at 1 877-652-8633 Visit the Greater Foothills Family Centre at greaterfoothillsfamilycentre.ca or drop in for a visit at #106, 303 9th Avenue SW High River.

THANK YOU TO OUR FUNDER

WRCC would like to extend our heartfelt apprecition to the Alberta Ministry of Child and family services for making it possible to provide the “first years for families” program that has had such a positive impact in the lives of children.

it has been an honor and a privilege to be welcomed into the hundreds of homes of families in the past 27 years to walk along side them as they shaped the development and well being of their children.
