- Small Business Week: October 15 - 21, 2023
Small Business Week recognizes the critical contributions of Alberta's entrepreneurs and small business owners. - Heritage Manitoba Maples
The Manitoba Maple Trees located on Victoria Trail along the banks of this historic North Saskatchewan River (kisiskâciwanisîpiy), on River Lot 12, are likely more than 160-years-old. Alberta Culture does not permit a municipality to designate trees or flora as a municipal historic resource, however, the County may make a symbolic proclamation to that effect, nevertheless. - National Library Month: October 2023
Libraries play a vital role in providing resources that give us a wealth of knowledge and insight into many different topics, making them a hub of knowledge that everyone can explore.
November 2023
- Family Violence Prevention Month: November 2023
Alberta has the third highest rate of self-reported spousal violence among Canadian provinces, yet family violence is preventable. November is Family Violence Prevention Month (FVPM) in Alberta. It is a time to increase awareness of the warning signs of family violence and the resources and supports available so we can work together to end family violence and build healthier relationships in our communities. - Learn #WhereToTurn by visiting: https://www.alberta.ca/family-violence-prevention-month
