Financial Assistance
If you are out of work and in need of financial assistance, please contact Service Canada to see if you are eligible for Employment Insurance. If this is not an option, you can apply for social assistance by contacting the Waterloo Region Social Services Department. Credit counselling is another option that is available through Mosaic Counselling and Family Services. Services available may include debt consolidation, negotiations with creditors, and financial planning.
