I’ve experienced first-hand how important it is for families in rural communities to have reliable, high-quality childcare. Access to early learning shouldn’t depend on where you live. I joined the board to help ensure Fort Macleod families have the support, stability, and opportunities every child deserves.

All members of the Fort Macleod Early Learning & Childcare Society Board of Directors have completed the required Criminal Record Check and Vulnerable Sector Check in accordance with Alberta non-profit governance standards and provincial Early Learning & Child Care licensing requirements.
