The growing and complex needs of Albertans are being supported in part by an interconnected network called 211. We examine the beginnings and evolution of the 211 network, what it does, and how it is impacting local communities. This episode, we are joined by Stephanie Wright, the 211 Alberta manager, and Danae Dobko, a community resource specialist for 211. Together, we dive into the ins and outs of how 211 works to find Albertans help in increasingly trying times.
