Social Services Hubs
About our hubs
Our hubs bring together City and community services in a common space to serve your needs and the well-being of our community. Hubs will be helpful if you are looking for work, or if you are a youth, family or new resident who may be facing extra challenges related to finances, housing, employment or health. Our hubs make it easy for you to get information on:
- Finding a job
- Finances
- Immigration and settlement
- Recreation
- Health
- Education and training
- Youth services
- Addiction
- Counselling and life skills development
What other resources and supports can you find?
- Support from friendly staff, referrals to programs and services
- Free use of computers, printers, fax machines, photocopiers and phones
- Job postings, Internet access for job banks, market research and job search
- Workshops, information seminars, clinics and drop-ins
- Free on-site child care for children ages six months to six years while using the hub services
