Welcome

It is going to be an incredible winter season in Whitecourt!

This year marks the grand opening of our very own winter park! The entire family will be able to affordably, learn to ski and snowboard at Eastlink Park– and only minutes from home! If that’s not your thing, there’s also two 580-foot tubing runs. Season passes are available for purchase (and make great Christmas presents) and details can be found on www.skiandboardwhitecourt.ca. For all of our youth that will be hitting up the Park after school this winter, Whitecourt Transit has added a seasonal bus stop to the site. I want to thank the dedicate group of volunteers, local businesses, and all of the Park’s sponsors for making this a reality for our community!

Of course there will also be the usual favourites this winter – the Santa Claus Parade and Christmas Tree Light Up, Santa’s Party at the Millar Centre, the annual Poker Rally hosted by the Whitecourt Trailblazers with a concert hosted by the Performing Arts Society, and Family Day Winter Carnival. Aside from the events, there’s snowmobiling, skating at Rotary Park, tobogganing, cross country skiing, and ice fishing. There’s a lot to do here in the “average” winter – but this winter will be one for the history books.

Enjoy all that the winter season has to offer!

McMan Youth, Family and Community Services is proud to join Alberta Children’s Services in its lead in the Prevention of Family Violence and Bullying.

McMan Youth, Family and Community Services Safe Visitation Program

What is safe visitation?The Safe Visitation Initiative helps protect children and families in situations where there is a high risk of family violence between parents. Safe visitation provides an opportunity for children to visit with non-custodial parents in a safe and secure environment. Safe visitation services are provided by trained staff to help ensure children have a positive experience visiting with their parent. There is no cost for families to access services from a safe visitation site, and a court order is not necessary for a referral. It is important for children to maintain safe and positive contact with both parents. However, in families where family violence has occurred and the parents are separated, child visits with a non-custodial parent can be stressful and may pose additional risks for the custodial parent.

Who is eligible for safe visitation services?Families may be eligible for safe visitation services if…

• There have been incidents of violence between parents & the parents are separated.• There is a risk of continuing or escalating family violence between parents.• The parents would like the child(ren) to have safe contact with the non-custodial

parent, a child wishes to visit the non-custodial parent, or a court has ordered that the child has supervised visitation.
