O • INTRODUCTION

O • •9 You are not alone. • This handbook tells you about services for Aboriginal people in cities • across Ontario. The guide includes information about government • services. • • This book can help you find people and groups and organizations that • understand and accept Aboriginal ways and culture.

• Unfortunately, the number of urban Aboriginal organizations isn't • enough to deal with the growing demand. for you. If you have an idea or a suggestion to improve • This guide is the guide, send it to: • Public Safety Canada Aboriginal Corrections Policy Unit • 340 Laurier Avenue West 0 Ottawa, Ontario • KlA OP8 • • You may visit the Public Safety Canada Homepage at: • http//www.ps.gc.ca

O • • • • Tips for Finding Information •

O Your local Friendship Centre is the best place to start, the people who • work there will be able to help you or they will know someone who • can. The Centre will also know about other Aboriginal organizations • in the area. Government organizations are not always easy to deal e with; however, if you are patient and persistent, they will help. • If you run into voice messaging information systems, remember that • once you have gone through the maze of pushing buttons for information, you will eventually be able to talk to someone. • Try to make local calls or use 1-800 numbers where possible because • you may be on hold for a long time. That can cost a lot of money. If • you know what questions you need answered in advance, this will save • you time in the long run. The people on the other end will know • exactly what you want and you will not have to call back for more • information. • Some organizations, particularly Aboriginal housing organizations, • have long waiting lists. If you want an apartment/house in urban • Aboriginal housing, you should get your name on the list as soon as possible. • Don't give up. There are always people out there who are willing to • help, they are just sometimes hard to find. • • Finding Out More • • The federal and provincial government have many services. This • Guide does not list them all. • If you want information about a • federal government program or service • that is not listed in this Guide, call Service Canada at 1-800-622-6232. • 2 O• • • • •

• Essential Services • • Birth/Death/Marriage Certificate • • To get a copy of your Birth, Death, or Marriage certificate, contact the Ontario Office of the Registrar General. You must ask the Office of 411 the Registrar General to send you an application form. The telephone • number is 1-800-461-2156. It is a long distance call, but there is no • charge. It is very difficult to get through by telephone. Luckily, there • are other ways of getting an application form. You can go on line at • www.mgs.gov.on.ca or www.serviceontario.ca to complete a birth • certificate on line or you can print it out and mail your application. • • You can get an application form at a city hall or a town hall. Some • Canada Employment Centres (HRDC Offices) have application forms. • Call to find out. You can write to the Office of the Registrar General • and ask for an application form. • The address is: • Office of the Registrar General • Post Office Box 4600 • Road • 189 Red River Thunder Bay, Ontario P7B 6L8 • • After you get the form and fill it out, send it back to the same address. • • • O • • • O O O O Social Insurance Nunnber (SIN) O If you don't have a Social Insurance Number (SIN), or you've lost it, • you can get one at a Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC). • The addresses of HRDC offices are below. You must fill out an application form. You also need your birth certificate, a certificate of Canadian citizenship, or a passport. If you are a registered Indian and • you want your SIN card to show your status, you will also need your Status Indian card. • /‘■ If you can't go to an HRDC office you can have an application sent to • you. Call HRDC at 1 800 206-7218 and select option "3".. If you have never had a SIN card before, or you are changing your name, the card • is free. Replacement cards cost $10.

O You can go online to download a SIN application form at www 1 .servicecanada.gc.ca and select A to Z Services Index, next • select the letter S, from the list select Social Insurance Number and this • will bring you to the page with the information you will need to apply • for your SIN card. •

O You will need a new card if you change your name because you are married or divorced. Take your marriage certificate or proof of divorce • with you when you go for your new SIN card. • • •

Cultural Centres/Counselling • While there is not a friendship centre in the area there are many services for Aboriginal people in and around Sarnia on the three reserves. Each reserve has child and family services, drug and alcohol workers to deal with substance abuse, and an economic development program that helps its people with employment.

The decision to help is O usually decided on a case-by-case basis. Reserves in the Sarnia area: •
