What is the Building Blocks Program?
Building Blocks is a FREE in-home literacy
program designed to assist families with
children 0-6 years of age.
Building Blocks support parents in their
role as their child’s first and most important

language development, reading, and learning once a week for 15 weeks. Builders provide a
variety of tools and strategies that tap into everyday activities to enhance a child’s learning
journey. In addition, the builder may help with promoting positive behaviours, setting up
routines, therefore giving the child an opportunity for better success when starting school. The
program is designed to be fun and interactive using songs, rhymes, stories, crafts and games to
improve literacy and numeracy skills.
Who should enroll in the program?
Families who are concerned with their child’s learning development
Families where transportation is not available to get to a community program

Meals For The Moment
This program was generated to aid families or persons
in need by supplying them with readymade homemade
meals. Such as families or individuals grieving or have
fallen ill or perhaps had surgery.
This program is operated by local resident Rita Hasson
with the Community Social Board. Rita has been helping
provide this service to our community for the last 3 years.
Rita has rallied volunteers to donate cooked meals when
needed. When Rita receives word of a needy family or
individual she contacts the persons and offers Meals for
the Moment assistances. Any allergies or special diet
instructions such as gluten free are taken note. Rita then
contacts one of the volunteers and passes on the dietary
instructions only. Meals are then brought to Rita where
she hand delivers to the recipient. All participants are
kept confidential.
~ THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT SERVICE OFFERED TO OUR
COMMUNITY! ~
If you know of anyone who is in need of
Meals for the Moment please do not hesitate to call
Rita at 780-961-4117. Volunteer cooks are also welcome
to contact Rita.
Your time & generosity is a great asset to such a wonderful
service.

Questionnaire. The questionnaire is for children as young as 3
months and as old as 6 years of age. The questionnaire is done
by you, the parent/caregiver, in the comfort of your own home.
It gives you a “snap shot in time” of your child’s development.

complete. It covers all areas of early childhood development
(including communication; gross & fine motor skills; problem
solving; personal-social and social-emotional).
