Information on Indigenous Services
Health and social services for Indigenous communities are often a combination of traditional healing, primary care, cultural programs, health promotion programs, resource centres, community development initiatives, and social support services. Indigenous peoples are the descendants of the original inhabitants of North America, who identify as First Nations, Métis, or Inuit.
The three First Nations communities closest in proximity to Middlesex County and the City of London are: Chippewa of the Thames First Nation (part of the Anishinaabe); Oneida Nation of the Thames (part of the Haudenosaunee); and, Munsee-Delaware Nation (part of the Leni-Lunaape).
Community Connectors are fundamental to helping Middlesex County families get connected to the services and supports they need. Contact or visit a Middlesex County Library to speak with a Community Connector.
Community Navigator Josh Smith is an expert on all the services and programs around the County, and is your first step in finding which service could be the best fit for you.
Local organizations are available to assist with housing, securing employment, education, accessing mental health and addiction services, food and clothing supports, social assistance and everything in between. Whatever your need, contact the Community Navigator to get started. Josh can help you every step of the way: from discovering which program may be best suited to your needs, to referrals and connections with that program, as well as compiling and completing required documentation.
If you think the Community Navigator can help you, please reach out at communitynavigator@middlesex.ca or 519-808-0588. If you are a resident of Middlesex County you qualify for assistance: there is no referral required, no eligibility requirements, and no cost. Josh is here to help, and is happy to be your first step! Middlesex County Library Community Navigator page
