Vibrant Communities Edmonton centres its framework for change on the keystone of family economic success. We focus on three strategies: family economic support, workforce development and community investments, expressed through projects like the Job Bus, Make Tax Time Pay and partnerships with immigrant and newcomer communities related to workforce development.
VCE's role is to be a catalyst for change by brokering multi-sectoral collaborations, sharing knowledge and learning, building on existing assets, advocating, and helping to create comprehensive thinking and action.

A Transition
Vibrant Communities Edmonton (VCE) has transitioned its work on poverty reduction to the Edmonton Social Planning Council (ESPC). The ESPC was an original founding collaborator with the City of Edmonton, the Edmonton Community Foundation, the United Way, the Edmonton Community Loan Fund and others. Recently "anti-poverty businessman" Mark Chamberlain underscored the need to treat poverty as a crisis, in an event sponsored by Alberta Capital Region United Way and Edmonton Economic Development Corporation.
