(High River, AB): For six decades, Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) has been focused on preventive social services in communities across Alberta, and this milestone is an opportunity to celebrate not only the history of FCSS, but also the people who make the community what it is.
"Sixty years of FCSS is a meaningful milestone for Alberta, and a testament to the power of community-driven prevention," says Mayor Craig Snodgrass. "On behalf of Council and the community, I want to thank our FCSS team here in High River for the care and commitment they bring to supporting our neighbours every day. Your work helps make High River a stronger, more connected place to call home."
To celebrate FCSS in High River and Foothills County, residents are invited to come together for two free classic Christmas movie events, creating space for connection, laughter, and a little extra holiday magic. You are welcome to come to one or both movies!
Showtimes are at 2 p.m., doors open at 1:30 p.m. Both movies will be playing at the Wales Theatre in High River: 421 1 St SW, High River. Register by calling FCSS High River: 403-652-8620.

Residents of High River and Foothills County can enjoy free entry, along with a complimentary small pop and popcorn, courtesy of High River FCSS and Foothills County FCSS.
Each film in the series carries its own inspiring message, from the importance of looking out for our neighbours and offering a helping hand to the courage it takes to embrace who we truly are. These timeless themes are especially meaningful during a season that can bring both joy and challenges.
The free movie events are an invitation to slow down, take a break from the busyness of the season, and enjoy a little togetherness. Whether attending with family and friends or coming on your own, everyone is welcome. After all, community is built when we make room for one another, celebrate our differences, and remember that we all have something to offer.
So, grab a seat, enjoy a holiday classic, and share in the warmth of a community coming together!
Remember to register with FCSS High River by calling 403-652-8620.
