If you've taken a trip to the mall recently, you might have noticed there is some new activity in the old Zellers location.

Social Services has confirmed that they are moving into the empty space at the Town n' Country Mall. In a written statement from Andrew Dinsmore, Director of Communication with the Ministry of Social Services he answered why they were moving.

"With the closure of Valley View Centre, we needed to ensure we had space for the continuing services and staff that provide outreach and prevention services, crisis support, and therapy assessment that were originally housed out of that facility.  It made sense to co-locate these services with other Ministry of Social Services programs. The new office space at the Town and Country Mall provides adequate space for those services, along with the programs and staff who were located at the Ministry’s Athabasca Street West office."

Many Renovations took place over many months to get the new location ready, and Dinsmore detailed when the new location will be fully operational.

"Our programs are all up and running out of the new location. However, parts of the therapy area are not quite finished but are expected to be fully operational soon."

With the new location also comes a new mailing address, which is the following: 

Ministry of Social Services
