The motto is "Building the smallest democracy at the heart of society". Its logo (see below) represents a heart within a house. The heart, sheltered by a roof, linked by another heart symbolizes life and love in a home where one finds warmth, caring, security, togetherness, tolerance and acceptance. The open design is meant to indicate continuity with a hint of uncertainty. The brushstroke, with its open line roof, completes an abstract symbol representing the complexity of the family. Some of the issues related to the theme include co-ordination of services to families, a flexible workplace, support for family strength and diversity, emphasis on values, economic realities, preparing for the future, relevant policies, the role of professionals and the role of communities. The Premier's Council in Support of Alberta Families has a number of resources available. These include idea packages for planning programs or events and publications about Alberta families.
