EVENT OVERVIEW INFOGRAPHIC – IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL

Preparing for Your Session

It is important for you to bring your photo ID with you to your session, to support your claim application. If you have a Claim Form or personal narrative that you have already started, please bring it with you so we can build on the work you have already done.

Preparation Checklist:

  1. Photo ID
  2. Claim Form and personal narrative (if you’ve started it)
  3. Face covering
  4. Personal hand sanitizer (if you have it)
  5. Personal comfort items
  6. Support person

Acceptable forms of valid government-issued identification include:

  • Social insurance card
  • Driver’s license card
  • Provincial/territory photo card
  • Passport
  • Birth certificate
  • Old age security (OAS) identification card
  • Firearms possession and acquisition license (PAL)
  • Official military ID

Please note that health cards are NOT acceptable forms of ID for privacy reasons. Membership cards issued by an organization, or cards issued by a city, municipality or region are also not acceptable forms of ID, as they are not issued by a state, provincial, territorial or federal government.

If you do not have any of the above forms of ID, you can fill out a Sworn Declaration at Part 6 of the Claim Form.

Health and Safety

We are carefully monitoring the COVID-19 regulations and circumstances in Calgary. Our priority is to ensure your safety and comfort. During in-person community sessions, federal, provincial and community public health guidelines will be followed, and PPE will be worn by all program staff members. Disposable masks and hand sanitization will be available at all in-person sessions.

If sessions are cancelled due to COVID-19, our staff will work with your community to arrange alternative arrangements and ensure community members receive the support they need, in a safe manner. Alternative arrangements may include virtual delivery or a re-scheduled in-person session at a later date.

Our Community Support Team is available to answer questions about our service and assist with booking, changing or cancelling an appointment. You can call us at 1-877-515-7525 or email us at idscommunitysupport@argylepr.com.

I come from a large family and in February 2022, I will welcome my first grandchild into the world. I am the sixth child of seven. I have two grown daughters

Chriselle D’souza

A lover of continuous learning, I spent most of my childhood adapting to life in new cities. I'm on a journey to discover my purpose and self-identity and have an eager appreciation of different cultures and a palate that's willing to try any and all food.

Karine Martel

I am a Métis woman from the Red River in Manitoba. I am fortunate to live on my Métis homelands within Treaty 1 Territory. I love to fish, hunt, and visit with family.

Stephanie Lasica

Whether I am volunteering, spending time with my family or self-reflecting, I am passionate about building trustworthy and impactful relationships that can benefit as many folks as possible. Kindness, respect and courage are essential to all that we do.

Jill McLean

I am of mixed European settler and Inuit ancestry, and live and work in Winnipeg. I love spending time outside, even in winter. My kids are 8 and 10 years old, and they love spending time inside on screens playing video games or talking to friends. Luckily I can still talk them into joining me on a hike, skate or swim from time to time.
