Income Security Advocacy Centre and the Toronto legal aid clinic system's Social Assistance Action Committee (SAAC) recently partnered to host two information sessions on critical issues that will arise in the course of the Social Assistance Review.
The first session, "Transforming Ontario Works", was held in March 2011 to explore issues around the transition "from welfare to work".
The presentations were video taped, and these can be viewed on the ISAC website.
