This series consists of a variety of records concerning projects the Edmonton Social Planning Council (E.S.P.C.) and its numerous committees were involved in or concerned with. The projects concern social issues such as the needs of the elderly, community services and development, child welfare and day care services, the Christmas Bureau, the development and support of cooperatives, community schools, services for people with physical disabilities, services for homeless people, women’s shelters, Indigenous and Metis welfare, poverty, rehabilitation, and more.
