The definition of single mothers is not limited to a married woman with a departed or separated spouse.
There are other circumstances under which a single mother could also be eligible for assistance from the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development.
Director of the program here, Maria Garcia, said this during the closing speech of the most recent Single Mothers meeting.
She said that the strategy of the mission was to provide more information to single mothers so that they could be aware of what help were available to them.
She added that it was very challenging for a single mother to be head of family. The director wanted to help such mothers so as to improve their living standard.
Some 50 single mothers from various neigborhoods gathered here for the meeting. The two day event also included speaker showing a cake-making demostration.
Such meetings are held several times a year on rotation basis.
The next meeting would be in High Park or Riverdale Park, Toronto.
