employment & life skills community celebration

celebrateD 40+ years of ELS at Making Changes!

For over 40 years, Employment & Life Skills was a key foundational program for Making Changes Association. Thousands of lives were impacted with the support of many volunteers, community partners, and team members.

Due to a change in funding, Employment & Life Skills in its previous format came to an end. On March 13th, we recognized the final cohort, celebrated the lives impacted over the years, and honored the people who made it possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to share stories, enjoy sweet treats, and celebrate Employment & Life Skills!

All persons welcome at making changes

Making Changes acknowledges the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy which includes the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, the Tsuut’ina Nation and Stoney Nakoda Nations of Chiniki, Bearspaw and Wesley and the Metis people of Alberta, Regions 5 & 6. We honour the hardships that were endured by the peoples on this land to allow us to be in this space to do the work that we do in our community. We respect the culture of the peoples who walk through our doors and we strive to provide space for them. We acknowledge that Indigenous peoples continue to experience hardships and our agency will be champions for change in our daily service to community. Making Changes is committed to inclusivity and recognition of all peoples who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
