SPEC Association
Empowering people with information, family supports, and community connection SPEC also provides services that support the needs of children and their families.
Established in 1978, the SPEC Association for Children & Families, began as a fee-for-service program with Alberta Social Services and Community Health. Since SPEC’s incorporation in 1979, the programs have continued to grow and offer services for individuals and families under the guidance and leadership of dedicated board members, staff, and volunteers. The SPEC Association offers a continuum of services providing information, family supports and community connection through a positive and welcoming environment. This includes a central hub of information and navigational services for all people in Brooks and within the County of Newell, connecting clients with the right information and services to assist them to increase their capacity to deal with life challenges.

SPEC is closed to the public on Sept 30 to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 🧡
Our staff are taking time to learn, reflect, and deepen our understanding. We encourage others to do the same.

A very special thank you to Kham and Sampong for their generous donation to SPEC. ❤️
For many years, they have supported SPEC through Wasana Restaurant, and we are incredibly grateful for the kindness and generosity they have shown our organization and our community.
As they say goodbye, it means even more that they made time for one final donation. What a wonderful way to close this chapter — continuing a long tradition of giving back to the community that has been part of their journey.
We are so grateful for people like Kham and Sampong who believe in supporting their neighbours and helping make our community a place where people feel connected, supported and cared for.
Thank you both, for your many years of generosity and support. We wish you all the very best in whatever comes next! ❤️

🍂 Culture comes in many forms, including the traditions that have shaped our local communities for generations!
The Heritage Fall Fair is a chance to celebrate a little classic small-town prairie culture. For some, it may bring back childhood memories; for others, it might be a tradition you’ve never experienced before.
Whether it’s familiar or completely new, come experience another part of the culture and heritage that makes our community what it is. ❤️
Different traditions. Different stories. One community.
The Fall Fair is almost here!
Time to start planning your entries.
Grab your booklet at the museum or download it online anytime. https://anyflip.com/tgqjr/lgsg/
We can’t wait to see what you create this year!
