"A Parent Link Centre provides parents and their children with
supports to ensure that the children come to school ready to learn
and ensure that parents have the supports needed to help their children
develop and fulfill their potential. Parents will be able to access information
about community services, obtain referrals, and meet other parents, children,
and families, while taking part in quality early learning activities
at a Parent Link Centre.The Government of Alberta has committed $6 million towards the
Parent Link Centre initiative that will support parent resource centres
across the province. Two of these centres will have an Aboriginal focus.
Funding will build on the government's estimated $5 million in existing
funding to parent resource centres by Child and Family Services Authorities
and Family and Community Support Services programs."
