Lamont County Cares

#LamontCountyCares

This page includes a listing of supports available to residents of Lamont County and the surrounding region. As part of this campaign, Lamont County Council has committed to providing a quick-reference fridge magnet for all rural residents to assist in times of crisis. In emergency, there is 9-1-1 and the suicide line 9-8-8.

Each day during February, we will highlight supports available across Lamont County to residents. Additional reminders will be posted throughout the year to aid those who may be in need of these supports. We are proud to partner with these organizations to ensure residents can access what they need.

Below are a copy of the news release posted to outline this campaign, the message provided by Council (from Reeve Diduck) and a digital copy of the magnet sent to rural residents in 2024.

A resource page is also listed below of the Lamont County social media posts from this campaign.
