As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Thunder Bay’s District Social Services Board is continuing to offer essential core services.
Those services include issuing social assistance payments, new applications for all DSSAB programs and are encouraged to take place over the phone.
Payments will be accepted, but, if possible, should be made electronically or by mail.
Community housing properties will continue to be maintained, and health and safety issues will be addressed.
Services that will not be available until further notice include:
- Licensed child care centres and EarlyON Child and Family Centres have been temporarily closed.
- All in-person workshops and training are postponed. – Non-essential face-to-face appointments and meetings will not be held.
- All recruitment/hiring activities are on hold.
“We are working to ensure the safety of the people we serve, our staff and our communities while maintaining essential services during this serious pandemic,” says TBDSSAB CAO Bill Bradica.
