Newcomers to the area can get help from a settlement counsellor. The United Way Perth-Huron, Multicultural Association Perth-Huron and the Centre for Employment and Learning are teaming up for this service.
The counsellor can help with government forms and answer immigration questions. They’ll be available once a month in both Perth and Huron Counties.
Mark Hertzberger is the Project Manager at the Multicultural Association of Perth-Huron.
He says they’ve gotten requests for this kind of service:
