Outreach Settlement Services Now Available
October 15, 2006 - The settlement services offered
by Quinte United Immigrant Services are now closer to you than ever
before.
QUIS services have always been available outside of the Belleville
office, on a case-by-case basis. However, QUIS now employs a part-time settlement counsellor,
Stephen Kirby, who can meet clients in their communities on a more
regular basis.
Previously, to meet a client outside of the office, many special
arrangements needed to be made, but not anymore.
Kirby makes weekly and biweekly visits to locations in Napanee,
Wellington, Trenton, Brighton, and Colborne where he can meet clients
across the Quinte area at several locations. Please call to make an
appointment to ensure that he is available to meet with you.
Napanee: Tuesdays from 2:30 until 5:00 pm at the Lennox & Addington
County Public Library located at 25 River Road.
Wellington: Wednesdays from 10:00 until 1:00 pm at the Wellington Public
Library located at 261 Main Street.
Quinte West: Thursdays from 9:30 until 3:30 pm at the Quinte West Public

Andrews United Church located at 13 Chapel Street.
