Community Information

There is a wealth of support in the community through organizations, individuals and government, but finding them can be difficult. The links and information provided in this section of our website only scratches the surface of community supports. The links section on this page will provide a few helpful links which can connect you with other services in the community, but when in doubt we suggest you meet with us at The Working Centre to discuss your needs, whether it’s for employment, transportation, housing, social assistance, food, legal needs, healthcare, or any other need you may have. We can’t promise all of the answers but we can do our best to point you in the right direction and walk the journey with you.
