The Manitoulin-Sudbury District Social Services Administration Board (DSSAB) is a municipal service management organisation created by the provincial government to oversee the local planning, coordination and delivery of a range of services and programs divested to the municipal order of government. The specific programs our DSSAB is responsible for are: Ontario Works, Social Housing, Emergency Medical Services (Land Ambulance), and Early Learning and Child Care services. 

DSSABs are unique to Northern Ontario. The Manitoulin-Sudbury DSSAB is one of Ontario's ten DSSABs. They, along with thirty-seven County, Upper Tier or Regional governments make up what is often referred to as Ontario's forty-seven Consolidated Municipal Service Managers (CMSMs).  

The Manitoulin-Sudbury DSSAB is responsible for the delivery of its services to the residents of the districts of Manitoulin and Sudbury.

We have constructed this  website as part of our commitment to provide the residents of our 45,000 square kilometre service jurisiction access to information on our organisation in a timely, cost effective manner. We appreciate your interest.

Sincerely,

Gary R. Champagne, Chief Administrative Officer
Manitoulin-Sudbury District Social Services Administration Board
