RESOURCE CONNECT

Resource Connect is an annual event that brings together a community of over 70 agencies and service providers from across Edmonton. The purpose is to explore how they might better create connections towards a more collaborative community of practice.

Within this community of practice, agencies find ways to work together to discover gaps and opportunities in the system. This informs how they might redesign better service pathways for their clients and the community.
