Advocacy

Accessing financial, health-related and other types of assistance can be overwhelming, but our individual advocates may be able to help you.

Our advocates offer assistance and information regarding:

  • Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
  • Monthly Nutritional Benefits (MNSB)
  • Debt forgiveness
  • Long Term Disability (LTD)
  • Employment Insurance (EI) and welfare
  • Housing
  • Returning to work

Try our Ask an Advocate feature or use the Advocacy Action Kit, which offers current, simple, step-by-step information on issues related to welfare, seniors and persons with disabilities.

Learn more about the issues on which we have expertise, or drop-in:

  • Monday - Friday (except holidays)
    10am - noon
    1pm - 4pm
