Youth services across Canada play a crucial role in supporting young people facing various challenges. However, many organizations still rely on traditional methods like paper-based records and spreadsheets, leading to data inconsistency, time-consuming processes, and limited accessibility. Staff often spend valuable time on administrative tasks, diverting their attention from direct engagement with youth. Communication breakdowns and inefficient coordination are common when relying on email, phone calls, and physical bulletin boards. This fragmented approach can result in missed information, scheduling conflicts, and overall operational inefficiencies. Additionally, generating accurate reports for compliance and funding can be cumbersome, potentially affecting funding opportunities and stakeholder trust. The administrative burden of traditional methods can lead to staff burnout and stress, impacting the quality of care provided to young people. Adopting case management software, like Mareto, can streamline operations, improve data accuracy, and enhance communication, allowing staff to focus on empowering youth and helping them build brighter futures.

Provincial Property Taxes (Officially known as Grants in Lieu of Property Taxes) I’ve been getting a lot of calls/emails from people asking about the provincial government not paying their property taxes and how they can take action. Mayor Amarjeet Sohi has put together a site (link below) that you can visit to learn more about how Edmonton is not being fairly compensated. There is also a tool you can you to send a letter to Premier Smith and Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver. On Friday, Council unanimously passed a motion to make it clear that if the provincial government pays the over $80 million that we haven’t received since 2019/2020, and reinstates that funding on an ongoing basis, that we will use every penny of that to help reduce any property tax increase in 2025. This would allow us to reduce any possible increase by approximately 2% in 2025 which is critical at a time where so many people are struggling to cover their bills. This is an issue being faced by every municipality in Alberta but Edmonton is disproportionately affected because we are the provincial capital and have the largest amount of provincial buildings in Alberta. Municipalities across Alberta are advocating to see that funding reinstated. That includes over 95% of members at the recent Alberta Municipalities | Strength in Members Convention approving a resolution asking for the provincial government to pay its fair share. Please take a minute to visit the website below and add your voice to the advocacy. #yeg #yegcc #Edmonton

First Nation governance includes 10 core functions that are the foundation upon which all other functions are built. Governance forms how people choose to organize, share power, set priorities, get things done, and how those decisions are made and who is accountable; it requires processes, structures, tradition, and rules to be in place. Governance gives a First Nation the ways and means to achieve the things that matter to them. Reconstructing your governance is self-determination in action and a powerful predictor of success in economic and community development. #governWISE #Governance #FirstNations #Resources
