Blackfalds Social Needs Assessment moves forward

The Town of Blackfalds has announced it is taking steps to create a new Social Needs Assessment for the community.

During the April 26 regular meeting of council, Moorhouse & Associates, and Objective Research and Evaluation were chosen to undertake a Blackfalds Social Needs Assessment and Master Plan.

This plan is expected to identify priorities, guide decision-making, resource allocation, and collaborative action to enhance the social well-being and quality of life of Blackfalds residents.

Throughout the coming months, the consultants, working closely with Blackfalds FCSS staff and municipal administration, will engage with stakeholders, survey the public, and facilitate focus groups and open houses to gather resident input regarding the community’s social needs.
