About Viking/Beaver FCSS
Viking/Beaver FCSS services residents living in the Town of Viking, Village of Holden, and east half of Beaver County, including the hamlets of Bruce and Kinsella. These municipalities partner with the Province of Alberta to deliver locally driven preventive social initiatives that enhance the well-being of individuals, families and communities. Municipalities, through board members appointed on their behalf, determine where the need for programming and services lies. Programs and services can be targeted to individuals of any age, to families, or to entire communities. We also provide information and referral services and support to volunteer work in the community. Please contact us!
