Social Services

How to reach us

Building on its mission, the Social Services Department of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell is moving toward interdepartmental integration.

Ontario Works and Early Years Services will now be able to serve the population at four points of service: L’Orignal, Hawkesbury, Rockland and Casselman, offering a one-stop service.

The Ontario Works office at 860 Caron Street in Rockland is now closed. We will continue to provide the same high-quality services to people in temporary need across the territory. No services will be interrupted during this transition.

For more information on how to reach us, please consult the Corporate Directory.
