Vibrant Communities Edmonton (VCE) is a non-profit corporation that collaborates with a wide range of business, community and government partners to build economic success for low income working families.

VCE has a rich history of collaborating with businesses to achieve win-win solutions through initiatives like the Job Bus and Make Tax Time Pay. VCE is also a member of the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce.

Employers of people who earn low wages are often faced with higher costs as a result of absenteeism, late arrival at work, and high turnover. Employee issues such as lack of transportation, housing and reliable child care are often beyond the scope of most employers to deal with on their own.

The Job Bus helps employers build a committed work force by addressing the problem of timely transportation for low-income employees to the job site. This initiative helps businesses reduce recruitment, turnover and training cost. 

Working families have increased their income through Make Tax Time Pay. This initiative provides solutions to employees lacking access to child health and adult health care, child care, and recreation benefits and subsidies by assisting them with free tax preparation and benefit/subsidy application assistance.
