I would like to inform you that the Social Policy Framework Consultations "Speak-Share-Thrive" public engagement deadline has been extended until August 30, 2012.
By visiting the Social Policy framework online (http://socialpolicy.alberta.ca) you have taken the first step towards becoming a partner in creating a social policy framework for Alberta.
The Social Policy Framework will guide the future of Alberta’s social policies and programs, things like childcare, employment, housing, poverty and community disability services. Issues that affect all Albertans.
The basic premise is that social policy affects everyone. That is why we want to encourage as many people as possible to get involved in the engagement process.
The Speak-Share-Thrive platform is a new and innovative approach to engagement. Through it, we are being invited to contribute to the content for the Framework. We are also being invited to use this platform to discuss how we can achieve better outcomes for Albertans.
