Who We Are

Since its incorporation in 2005, the Writers Foundation of Strathcona County (WFSC) has focused its efforts on gaining public exposure as well as maintaining support to its own growing membership. Registered as a non-profit society in the Province of Alberta, the WFSC elected Board of Directors manages the business of writing within the guidelines of its by-laws.

Our mandate is simple: provide support for writers, any age, any stage of their writing career. This simple but focused directive keeps the WFSC on track every year allowing the group to contribute back to the community in whatever way possible. Membership fees, collected from our own Writers Circle and Poets in the Park, cover basic operating and administration costs. Fundraising efforts organized by volunteers from the WFSC see monies returned to community events such as our workshops. The WFSC proudly sponsors aspiring, qualified young writers to writing-based camps hosted by such organizations as the Writers Guild of Alberta.

The WFSC is limited only by the level of its volunteer commitment: as we grow so will opportunities for our groups, our members and the community. We still continue to improve; we still have many avenues to explore and travel; we still work within our means and do not reach further than our current capabilities allow.

Over the past few years the WFSC has developed partnerships with other community organizations. The Strathcona County Library, the Arts and Culture Council of Strathcona County, the Strathcona County Museum & Archives and Strathcona County Recreation Parks and Culture all support and promote a vibrant arts & culture community... a community we are very proud to be a part of.
