Finances (ONTARIO):  Ontario financial resources for families:
1)      For families currently on OW and ODSP: Please contact your worker.
Families can receive extra funding to help meet a broad range of needs including cleaning supplies, transportation, food or clothing that people may be experiencing due to COVID-19. Families on OW/ODSP are to contact their worker to access these benefits and to find out what they may qualify for. For more information: LINK 
2)      Support for Families (not income-based)
All parents with a child aged 0-12 who is not currently in school or daycare can apply for a $200 payment. All parents with a child aged 0-21 with special needs are eligible for $250. This is a one-time direct funding to offset the cost of buying materials (work books, educational apps, educational subscription services, movies and other tools) to support learning at home. Parents who applied for the Support for Parents fund (funds available during the teachers strike) will automatically be enrolled. Parents must apply online, one application per child. For more information and to apply: LINK
