About Us
FSFJE emerged from the collective efforts of numerous organizations across Edmonton during the pandemic. The COVID-19 crisis pushed many groups to collaborate, create alternative models, and build networks of mutual aid and grassroots action. Out of this momentum, FSFJE became a collaborative space for organizations and community groups to continue strengthening the connections, innovations, and relationships that grew out of those challenging times.
