Terrace Bay-Schreiber Action Centre Closed on November 26, 2010
We wish to thank all our partners, in particular, Northwest Employment Works, the Schreiber Terrace Bay Adult Learning Centre, Contact North, Service Canada and the
Thunder Bay District Social Services Administration Board.
The Centre would not have been possible without our sponsors USW Local 665, the Townships of Terrace Bay and Schreiber, and the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities.
On behalf of Heidi Falzetta, twelve dedicated peer helpers, Chair Barb Spadoni and committee, and myself it was an honour and enriching experience to be of assistance to the workers of our communities during these difficult economic times. Don McArthur
