Disclaimer & Acknowledgement:
23.2 Disclaimer – The Recipient shall, unless otherwise directed by AHSABC, ensure that the following disclaimer appears on any materials developed for public distribution under this agreement:

“The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of AHSABC.”
Communicating the Value & Impacts of Your Program:
-
Awareness of Aboriginal Head Start: By promoting the social, economic, and cultural value of AHS programs, you are helping to raise awareness of the benefits to Indigenous families across Canada.
-
Support for AHS Programs: By acknowledging the funding and support of AHSABC’s leadership in making AHS available for more children and families, you are strengthening public understanding and support for creating more Aboriginal Head Start programs.
At AHSABC, we will make every effort to work with you and your program to:
-
Organize funding announcements
-
Profile your program via the AHSABC website and other media outlets
-
Share social media posts about your program highlights and inspiring practices
-
Showcase and celebrate program excellence through awards ceremonies and other events
Inform us of your media initiatives and publications, so that we can work with your program to publicly promote the value and impact of Aboriginal Head Start.
