The employees here taught me one thing. That they hate you, and they are just doing their jobs. These people r not your friends. This whole system is crap lol. You are a trapped bird in a cage.

"Let them eat cake." I helped a friend with his OW application and support. The administrative incompetence of staff at Ontario Works (OW) is shameful. A total absence of operational processes to ensure the OW mandate is being fulfilled and that clients are not left high and dry. Zero EMAIL, only phonecalls. If you have had a difficult experience with OW, you have the right to complain. I have reported this to the Office of the Ombudsman of Ontario.

Wellesley place was my savior when I arrived in Toronto with my son, May you keep up the good job you are doing to people who need your services

The staff here really helped me a lot! They are so nice and patient to give me helpful suggestions and resources when I nearly felt hopeless and desperate. Definitely the best place in Toronto. Thank you guys so much! Jo-Anne is the best! 🙂

It's hard to imagine a government service location less friendly or inviting. It has the feel of a prison visiting area more than a service area. The staff can be remarkably helpful and friendly, but the environment is from "1984."

I agree wholeheartedly with another reviewer and so I'll quote,
"There is a level of warm professionalism you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else."
Specifically, at any other Social Services office. I'm not terribly experienced with many other Toronto area offices however speaking as someone who has experienced suburban 'welfare' offices, at Wellesley Place I felt like a human who is deserving of the same service and respect as those behind the counter. Kudos to the staff the and specifically to my own worker, Rosaline McDougal. Thank you, sincerely and from the bottom of my heart for truly caring about me.

Arriving Canada as an immigrant with little or no knowledge and experience of my new found environment was challenging. Got all the help and pathway of rediscovering me, some potentials i had but knew not with options presented, optimism, support, resources offered and referral. This helped achieve a self actualization and happy i can contribute back to the community.
