Canada Post Service Disruption Update

The ongoing Canada Post mail disruption may affect how some of our clients and tenants receive notices or payments.  The District of Timiskaming Social Services Administration Board (DTSSAB) is implementing special procedures to ensure continuity of service until further notice.

We are here to support you with alternate options to avoid any delays.
