- indentify social issues, opportunities, challenges and potential solutions;
- build relationships, co-operative spirit and a common purpose;
- involve community partners such as health advisory councils, municipalities, Aboriginal agencies, the private sector and non-profit organizations;
- offer advice, make recommendations and report on social-based issues, needs, solutions and outcomes; and
- achieve outcomes identified by more than 31,000 Albertans in Albert’a Social Policy Framework;
