Community Data Program Orientation

Community Futures Lesser Slave Lake Region (CFLSLR) is leading a unique opportunity to become part of a new consortium with the Community Data Program. The Community Data Program (CDP) is a paid membership-based community development initiative open to any Canadian public, non-profit, or community sector organization with a local service delivery or public policy mandate. The program facilitates access to the evidence needed to tell our stories and inform effective and responsive policy and program design and implementation.

You are invited to learn more about the new Lesser Slave Lake Consortium with the Community Data Program on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at 11:30 a.m. MST online on Zoom.
