COVID-19 SPEC Response

Dear Community Members,

To protect our clients, staff, community and health services, SPEC has made the decision to close our facility doors to the public while we continue to support clients via phone, email and social media.

All face to face services, group activities, events, playroom access and programming in rural communities are cancelled until further notice.  This applies to all SPEC programs:                                             Parent LINK Centre

We are practicing ‘social distancing’ as advised by Alberta Health Services and promoting slowing the spread of Covid-19 by strongly encouraging people in the community to STAY HOME.
