In these challenging times, we are here to support our clients and community. We have compiled some helpful resources on Employment Insurance, Housing and Settlement, Social Services, and more.  We will be regularly updating this resource page. If you would like supports from our experienced settlement counsellors, contact us at settlement@skillsforchange.org and 416.658.3101 or for any other questions, info@skillsforchange.org. We are delivering online services via phone, email and video calls during our normal business hours.  Check our website for more information on our services:  https://skillsforchange.org/settlement/
