Through these regional FRNs, the Province of Alberta funds high quality prevention and early intervention regional services for families with children 0-18 years of age. The Bow Valley Family Resource Network (BVFRN) is a regional network that is made up of three provincially funded organizations: Town of Canmore, Town of Banff, and Closer to Home (Calgary). The Town of Canmore is the anchor agency and coordinates services between BVFRN organizations. As anchor agency the Town is tasked with coordinating all BVFRN services. To meet this objective, the Town of Canmore allocated a small portion of the provincial FRN grant to Ambrose University’s Canadian Poverty Institute (CPI) to fund development of a program evaluation and support collaborative between all BVFRN agencies. CPI has recently submitted a mid-service recommendation report.
