Message from the Board Chair
On behalf of the District of Sault Ste. Marie Social Services Administration Board, I would like to welcome you to our website.
I am proud to serve as the DSSMSSAB Board Chair. As board members, we take immense pride in championing our mission to help people, build lives and strengthen community. We are also passionate about the work that our Social Services employees do every day connecting those in need with a variety of services and working to build a fully engaged community where everyone is valued, respected and recognized.
Our Board meets regularly to conduct business relating to Social Services for our district that includes Sault Ste. Marie, Prince Township and 31 Unincorporated Townships that stretch from Sault Ste. Marie to Montreal River.
Under our purview are the services provided through Ontario Works, Early Years Services, Housing Services and EMS Land Ambulance.
We are dedicated to ensuring that these services are provided in a caring but efficient and cost-effective manner.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Hopkin
