Family and Community Support Services at the TOWN OF CALMAR

Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is a Municipal/Provincial cost-shared program that provides information regarding social and emotional supports that are available to residents of Calmar.

Through FCSS, many services, activities and programs are made available. These services are provided with the intention of promoting and enhancing family and community life. Volunteerism and prevention are emphasized, and FCSS helps the community help itself. Services and programs are varied, depending on the need.

Information and referrals play an important role for FCSS. Anyone who requires information, referrals or support on social, community or personal issues, may contact the FCSS office. Although counselling is not available through our local office, the FCSS Coordinator can provide information and assistance with obtaining counselling. Confidentiality is protected.
