Q4 Newsletter

Wow, we can’t believe that summer came and went so quickly! Aside from our third annual camping trip, which had an amazing turnout with over fifty people, we took a break over the summer months as families went on vacation and enjoyed the great outdoors. 

Now that fall is here, we’re back in full swing, hosting social events, our support group, and focusing on our expansion into other regions.

What Happened in 2016?

 

This year we kicked off our Calgary based Mom’s Support Group.

 

Starting in February, our mom’s group has met every month in 2016 and has been one of our best attended events. We’re looking forward to continuing this group into 2017 and beyond. New faces are always welcome!

Meet Zdravka!

 

We couldn't do what we do at FACES, without help from dedicated and passionate volunteers like Zdravka.

 

Currently, we have volunteers hosting FACES social events in the Calgary, Edmonton and Central regions.

MEET OUR TEAM

A Night for Dad's

 

"Mom's have a support group, and dad's want one, too." That's a message we've heard loud and clear, so starting this fall, we're hosting a monthly dad's group in Calgary! Dad's will do things a little differently, meeting at a local bar where they can choose to indulge in a beverage while discussing all the intricacies of being an adoptive dad.
