Community Social Programs Review
The City has partnered with HelpSeeker and Turner Strategies to conduct a review of Chestermere’s social programming and resources.
We need local service providers and residents to share their ideas and experiences with us so that we can continue to offer programming and support to the most vulnerable members of our community.
