READY TO PLAY BINGO!!! We will try to play 3-4 games in the hour. When ordering cards, think about how many cards you can play at the same time. The cards will be numbered and you can use the same card for each game. If you use coins or pieces of paper to cover the numbers you can use the (same card) for each game. If you use a Bingo Dauber, you will need to be able to print 4 copies of each card (per person) to play each game. FCSS will print multiple copies of cards for participants but you will have to stop by the office to pick them up on Wednesday. ****Winners of each game will have their name put into a draw for the end of the month**** SEND FCSS AN EMAIL TO REGISTER.

Ask for help if you need it. Don't ever hesitate or feel bad for needing to reach out, especially over the holidays and the lack of in-person visits. It's not g...oing to be easy or fun for anyone but we'll get through it. The smartest humans are making the medicine. If you're ever freaking out or need to talk to someone right away just dial 403-266-4357 and a nice human will answer it, from the Distress Centre Calgary. They'll listen to everything you have to say and can offer advice, if you're open to it. If not, no probs, they'll just be your support shoulder. Free, anonymous, 24/7, there for you always.

Building Brains Together's research team has put together a COVID-19 Parent Stress & Resilience survey which launched today and will run until September 9th. P...articipants are eligible to enter a draw for a $50 Superstore gift card. We'd really appreciate your help getting the survey out to parents. I have attached a social media infographic. The link to the survey is www.buildingbrains.ca/parent-survey We hope that the outcomes of this survey will help inform social supports and services in Southern Alberta both for the remainder of the Covid-19 pandemic and in future emergency responses. We will share the results with you once they are compiled.

File your 2019 taxes before September to keep getting your benefit payments Canadians who receive the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) and the Goods and Services Tax ...(GST/HST) credit need to complete their 2019 tax returns as soon as possible. As of June, more than 1.9 million Canadians who were eligible in 2018 for the CCB or GST/HST credits have not yet filed their return or have not yet received an assessment for their return from the CRA. If you’re one of these Canadians, you must file your taxes to continue to receive your benefits. Filing as soon as possible will ensure you receive the right amount and that your payments continue beyond September 2020. If you’re unable to file, your estimated payments will stop in October and you may have to repay what you received in July, August, and September 2020. Unsure about your eligibility to receive the CCB or the GST/HST credit? Please verify your status via My Account or MyBenefits CRA mobile app. Need help filing? Through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program and The Income Tax Assistance Volunteer Program in Quebec, community organizations are hosting free tax clinics where volunteers file tax returns for those who are eligible. To follow social distancing guidelines, many community organizations are now hosting free virtual tax clinics where a volunteer can help you file your return over the phone or by video conference. Find a free virtual tax clinic in your area.

Family violence is an abuse of power in a family or other trusting relationship where people rely on each other. When someone experiences family violence, their... well-being, security and survival are threatened. Rates of family violence increase during and following natural disasters, public health crises and economic downturns. It is important to know where you can turn if you are experiencing family violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Child abuse With the added stress and time together caused by a public health crisis like COVID-19, families with unhealthy relationships are more likely to experience child abuse. If you suspect child abuse, it is your duty to report it. Police and RCMP will respond even if you have COVID-19 or are in self-isolation or quarantine and experiencing symptoms. Children’s Services will respond to cases throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Call 1-800-387-KIDS (
