Ministry of Community & Social Services

The Ministry's vision is to be an effective and affordable system of community and social services that supports and invests in: families and accountability: adults, so they can live as independently as possible; a service system in which children are safe and people most in need receive support. They will be guided by the values of shared responsibility, accountability and fairness, in delivering integrated and client-focused services.

The Ministry has three core businesses: income and employment support; children's services; and social and community services. Toll free telephone line - 1-800-387-5559; Toronto Line 416-325-5666.
