City of Lacombe and FCSS working together during pandemic

The City of Lacombe and Lacombe Family & Community Support Services (FCSS) have signed a new agreement to facilitate the agency’s emergency social services (ESS) when called upon by the municipality.

“The Lacombe and District FCSS has served our community for over 50 years,” said Chief Administrative Officer Matthew Goudy. ”Acting as the City’s social services delivery agent during the current COVID19 pandemic is a natural extension of this long-standing partnership. This structure was developed and adopted through the Lacombe Emergency Management Agency.”

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City activated its Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC) on March 17, 2020.

FCSS has designated an ESS Branch Director to work in the City’s ECC for as long as it is activated.
