In addition to this WebEx, Prosper Canada has developed a new tool – the Benefits wayfinder - to assist Canadians with accessing provincial and federal benefits.
The Benefits wayfinder is a simple, easy to use, plain language tool that helps people on low and modest incomes find and track benefits they could get. The information and resources provided are from federal, provincial, and territorial governments, updated on an ongoing basis as new information becomes available. This tool is especially helpful for a person with a disability looking to ensure they access all the benefits available to them.
Available in English and French, the tool is user-friendly, easy to navigate and helps simplify accessing benefits. Individuals can use the tool on their own or with the support of an agency staff person. You can access a list of agencies that can assist you by clicking on this link.
