Supports and Services

Social Services can link Ontario Works (OW) and Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) participants to local employment programs and services.

We can help you:

  • Identify personal goals
  • Create an action plan to achieve goals
  • Connect to wrap around support and services
  • Access training
  • Link to current employment

Speak to a Social Services Case Manager for more information regarding employment programs, training programs and available services.

Education

We can support you to get your grade 12 diploma, improve your English, language skills, math, literacy and basic skills. It does not matter your age or situation, we can help. You can reach this goal while receiving Ontario Works and/or ODSP.

Building Resources

We can connect participants with a variety of different programs, workshops and services to help with basic needs, health, community supports and life skills.
