Department of Community Services
The Department of Community Services helps people live more independent and healthier lives by providing a range of social services. We work together with organizations across the province to administer social programs, including employment support and skills training, income assistance, affordable housing and youth and family supports.
We’re also responsible for child protection services, the foster care system and disability support programs.
