EDMONTON OILERS AND CALGARY FLAMES COME TOGETHER FOR THE CENTRAL ALBERTA CHILD ADVOCACY CENTRE
Red Deer, Alberta, August 7, 2018:
The Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre operators are so grateful for the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers organizations for their support through the participation of players and executives in the Battle of Alberta Golf Tournament to be played at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club August 8th, 2018.
The action gets underway tonight (August 7th) at the Sheraton Red Deer Hotel with the Reception and Celebrity Auction where teams registered in the tournament will bid for their favorite Flame or Oiler to join their team in head to head match up play for the tournament. There will be both current and alumni members of each organization on hand to participate in this fundraising event to support the centre. Note that tonight’s event is by invitation-only.
After the tournament completes, it will be back to the Sheraton in the Special Event Centre for an After Party and Hot Stove like you have never seen. The evening will also include a live auction with exclusive packages provided by the Flames and Oilers that give the purchasers NHL experiences to cherish a lifetime! Limited tickets for the After Party are still available at Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/battle-of-alberta-after-party-hot-stove-tickets-47442548941. Here’s event co-chair Al Sim:
Mark Jones, Chief Executive Officer of the CACAC, together with the centre’s staff and service partners, couldn’t be more pleased with this inaugural event. “Supporters of the centre have worked tirelessly since the formation of the coalition group who were determined to help with the desperate need for child advocacy in Central Alberta. We are collectively changing the way Central Alberta responds to child abuse. The Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre is a not for profit organization, governed by a board of directors that works in an integrative partnership with the Central Region Child and Family Services, Alberta Health Services, Alberta Justice, Alberta Education, the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre, and the RCMP to better service children, youth and families impacted by sexual abuse and the most serious/complex cases of physical abuse and neglect”.
The centre has professionals onsite dealing with the criminal aspects of the case, as well as child protection, medical and psychological needs of child victims and their families. Onsite professionals include police officers, physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and crown prosecutors with the common goals of: improved timeliness in the coordinated assessment and investigation of child abuse cases; increased access to support and therapeutic resources for the child and their family; enhanced collaboration among partners; more efficient and effective use of resources; increased knowledge and awareness of child abuse in the community.
Working collaboratively, we achieve greater results than any partner could on their own. It blends investigation, treatment, prevention, education and research with expertise to provide an integrated practice approach: wrapping around children and always “working in the best interests of the child”.
