Notice to Participants in Ontario Works and Children’s Services Programs
Haldimand and Norfolk Social Services will be using a new system to schedule appointments. This should start in April 2025. People who have provided an email address to these programs will start to receive notices about upcoming appointments and reminders from the email address [email protected]. If these emails do not arrive in your inbox, they may need to be marked as “safe” to prevent them from going into your junk mail. If you prefer to have a paper letter sent to you in regular mail, please let your case manager know and this can be arranged. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your case manager.
Basic financial assistance includes:
- income assistance provided for basic needs and shelter
- benefits as prescribed in the regulations
- emergency assistance is provided to help with basic needs and shelter on an emergency basis
