Throughout August 2020, AHC's Settlement Team facilitated weekly in-person workshops to help clients learn about Alberta Works online reporting tool, teaching them how to report their monthly incomes, where to report, how to manages any changes in their information and more! In addition, the program held a workshop in the last week on August to help inform newcomer families about back-to-school during the COVID-19 pandemic, how the changes will impact their children's learning, what their options for learning are, and how to continue being able to support their children's learning during this time.

Staff and clients adhered to strict COVID-19 protocols, including social distancing and masks while in the building.
