  • Aboriginal Communities Receive Assistance to Enhance Supports for Victims of Family Violence
    June 4, 2009 Aboriginal communities receive assistance to enhance supports for victims of family violence Slave Lake... The Alberta government is supporting Aboriginal communities in the province through community-based family violence prevention initiatives. Janis Tarchuk, Minister of Children and Youth Services, Gene Zwozdesky, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Pearl Calahasen, MLA for Lesser Slave Lake announced funding of $1.4 million provided through the government’s Safe Communities Innovation Fund (SCIF) and Children and Youth Services. Under the SCIF, the Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters (ACWS) is receiving more than $994,000 to operate an outreach program where workers will deliver family-based interventions for Aboriginal victims of family violence in the on-reserve communities of Wabasca, Morley, Maskwaci (Hobbema), Fort Chipewyan and Enilda. The Safe Communities initiative is a partnership of nine government ministries working closely with police, community groups, municipalities, businesses and social agencies to address the impact crime is having on our communities, and find meaningful, long-term solutions. Children and Youth Services is also providing $145,000 to the Northern Haven Women’s Shelter in Slave Lake for its operations and to pilot an outreach program for victims of family violence. “The Alberta government is committed to addressing the issue of family violence in our province, including expanding prevention supports and services to Aboriginal families and communities,” said Tarchuk. “The effects of family violence are devastating and early intervention supports provided through these kinds of programs will help keep families together and contribute to positive changes in their communities.” “Family violence affects many people in Alberta, including some Aboriginal families,” said Zwozdesky.

  • Klein Names New Cabinet, Reorganizes Some Portfolios
    November 24, 2004 Klein names new Cabinet, reorganizes some portfolios Creation of Advanced Education portfolio recognizes postsecondary as a priority Edmonton... New faces at the Cabinet table and new assignments for Cabinet veterans are the highlights of the new Cabinet team named by Premier Ralph Klein. "This Cabinet brings together experience and new perspectives, and I believe those who now sit at the Cabinet table are the best team to lead Alberta into its centennial year and beyond," said Klein. The new Cabinet make-up includes a new ministry and some changes to old portfolios. With the increased emphasis on post-secondary education in the government's 20-year strategic plan, the former ministry of Learning has been split into Education (for K-12 education) and Advanced Education (for postsecondary education). The old Finance and Revenue portfolios have been merged into a single Finance ministry. The previous Infrastructure and Transportation portfolios have been combined into one Infrastructure and Transportation ministry. The Seniors ministry has had responsibility for community supports added, including the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped and Persons with Development Disabilities programs, and is therefore renamed Seniors and Community Supports. The newly created portfolio of Restructuring and Government Efficiency will include responsibility for the Alberta Corporate Service Centre (previously under Government Services) and the Corporate Chief Information Officer (formerly with Innovation and Science). The Restructuring and Government Efficiency Minister will also be responsible for developing ideas and policies to streamline the delivery of government services. "The new restructuring ministry will help government in focusing on its most-important job, which is providing programs and services to Albertans effectively and efficiently," Klein said.
