Information & Referral
Our Exclusive Services
In many cases, knowledge of services is the only difference between a dependent and independent lifestyle. We provide information to consumers and to the community on accessibility issues, programs and services that are available both locally and provincially. Learn about financial services, community partners, the Sudbury accessibility guide and facts on disabilities.
