Creating CHANGE in our Region
The Wood Buffalo Family Violence Coordinating Council (WBFVCC) began in 2004 in response to the
Alberta Roundtable on Family Violence and Bullying - Finding Solutions Together.
Over the years much work was done by the committee to address the following key areas of action: social change, provincial leadership, collaborative and coordinated community response, services and supports and accountability. In 2022, the WBFVCC is a collaborative partnership of multiple agencies working together to support our region’s ability to recognize, respond and prevent family and sexual violence and bullying.
