Our team from Northumberland Community Legal Centre are co-hosting this event. We hope to see you on Tuesday 10 November 🤗

Join us for the next installment of Community Matters. We’ve once again partnered with the Northumberland Community Legal Centre to bring you the release of our Community Needs Assessment Report. Amanda Solmes, researcher at Loyalist College, will share what she found about the challenges and emerging needs facing individuals and families across Northumberland County.

You’ll also take part in an interactive homelessness simulation, followed by a community discussion on practical next steps.

When: Tuesday, November 10, doors open 8:30am
Where: Cobourg Columbus Community Centre
Cost: Free | RSVP required

Community organizations, service providers, local government, businesses and residents are all welcome. Understanding our community’s challenges is the first step. Turning that understanding into action takes all of us.

From all of us at our agencies, The Help Centre and Northumberland Community Legal Centre and our Board of Directors, we wish all of our Northumberland County neighbours a bountiful and happy, Thanksgiving 🤗

If you find yourself feeling extra grateful, and/or extra “flush” this holiday, please consider donating to help those less fortunate.
