Ethno-cultural Communities
The Minister of Children and Youth Services was given a mandate by Premier Ed Stelmach to enhance family violence programming and supports for Aboriginal and immigrant families and communities and improving access to existing programs for Albertans affected by family violence. Children and Youth Services is working with Aboriginal and immigrant stakeholders across the province to provide advice and guidance in implementation of this initiative.
$500 million was announced as part of Budget 2008 for safe communities and $1 million is being targeted directly at preventing family violence in Aboriginal and Immigrant families.
