Service agencies in Perth-Wellington are getting a funding boost as they deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece says the City of Stratford, which manages social service agencies in Perth County, will receive $1.043-million.
Pettapiece says municipalities and social service providers such as homeless shelters, food banks, emergency services, charities and non-profits can use the funds to support delivery of critical services, hire additional staff, acquire more personal protective equipment, and find ways to promote social distancing and self-isolation to keep people safe and healthy.
The Ontario government will provide $148 million across the province to local service managers and Indigenous program administrators.
