Harvest House Atlantic and Service Canada will hold a “Moving Forward Together Clinic,” on Jan. 23 to help people navigate the government services available to them.
The clinic will be held at the Harvest House office at 108 High Street, Moncton, on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
“The goal is for clients to receive expedited support with service providers to decrease the pressure on waiting within government facilities for assistance,” Harvest House director Marc Belliveau said in a news release. The first clinic was held Nov. 22 and officials felt it went well, so a second was planned with expanded services. Several community agencies have been invited to attend.
On site service providers will include:
• Canadian Revenue Agency – search for last year filed, returned mail status, address changes, info on benefits, etc.
• Community Volunteer Tax Program – filing of income tax returns.
• Housing NB – updating wait list, searching arrears and getting account numbers.
• Post-secondary Education Training and Labour (PETL) – support for employment and education opportunities.
• Service Canada – SIN number, changing address, immigration questions.
• Service New Brunswick – information and clarification on provincial government documents.
• Social Development – information on services.
• Vital Statistics – ordering birth certificates and other documents/information.
