COVID-19 Information and Updates
The County of Wellington is responsible for the delivery of temporary financial assistance to eligible residents of Wellington County and the City of Guelph. Eligibility to receive social assistance is determined by the Ontario Works Act.
In addition to providing residents with financial assistance through the Ontario Works programme, the County of Wellington operates programmes to assist low income individuals and families in immediate financial need. A financial assessment must be completed to determine eligibility for these services.
