By Rosalind Russell – The Ontario government is expanding the Investing in Women’s Futures program to 10 additional locations across the province, including Counselling Centre of East Algoma in Elliot Lake.
Charmaine Williams, Associate Minister of Women’s Social and Economic Opportunity, says the funding will help more women experiencing social and economic barriers connect to supports.
In Elliot Lake, the program will be delivered by Counselling Centre of East Algoma through an investment of $325,000 over three years.
A counsellor with the centre, Hailey Moulton says the organization will provide services and offer virtual and in-person programs to survivors of gender-based violence including workshops on financial wellness, employment readiness and legal rights, as well as safety planning and supportive counselling.
