As we continue to grow as a city, how can we make sure we’re supporting everyone who calls Airdrie home?

The City of Airdrie invests in social services to support our residents. We wish to recognize our strengths, understand the needs of our community, and identify any gaps we may have in social programs and services.

A Social Needs Assessment will help us determine the best way to direct our support to close identified gaps, and to respond to both opportunities and challenges within our community. This will help us ensure that our investments provide the greatest benefits to you, the residents of Airdrie. You will have a number of opportunities to have your say about social services and issues in our community.

We want to hear what you have to say about community social strengths, challenges and needs. The feedback you provide, along with what we've heard from social service providers and those they serve, will help shape the future of social service provision in our community.
