The Ontario government is expanding the Investing in Women’s Futures program to 10 additional locations across the province, including The Counselling Centre of East Algoma which connects women to supports and helps them develop the skills they need to gain financial security and independence.
The expansion is part of a $6.9 million investment over three years to enhance the program and create more economic opportunities for women says Charmaine Williams, the Associate Minister of Women’s Social and Economic Opportunity.
She says the program provides a range of flexible services and employment readiness supports for women facing social and economic barriers, including those experiencing gender-based violence and social isolation.
The addition of the new sites brings the total number of locations to 33 across Ontario with the link to the local site at https://www.counsellingcentre.org/
