Provincial funds for new CFS facility | Daily Herald Tribune

The Catholic Family Services Society of Grande Prairie has a new home as seen here on Sunday February 14, 2016 in Grande Prairie, Alta.

The Catholic Family Services Society of Grande Prairie is doing a happy dance following the recent Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) grant announcement from the Alberta Government.

The local organization received $125,000 in capital grant funding to help with the cost of its new family services centre.

“When we started applying for this grant we were in the process of building a new office because Grande Prairie has gotten larger and larger and our counselling needs have gotten increasingly larger,” said Rick Adair, board president.

“The beauty of that is our counselling services are provided at an ability to pay basis and a significant percentage of our clients pay nothing and over 60% pay $10 or less,” he explained.

The Catholic Family Services Society of Grande Prairie has licensed psychologists and counsellors on hand to provide family and individual counselling to anyone who needs it on a non-denominational basis, whether they’re able to pay or not. ‘;
