The Department of Community Services Sheet Harbour office has been slated to close on September 30th, 2014.  Although the services are planned to be centralized out of the Cole Harbour office, Sheet Harbour will no longer have a viable and consistent location in our area.  As members of the area, we recognize the hardships this will create as a result of losing another essential service.  The closure will significantly impact not only service users and create additional challenges for them but will also affect the community as a whole.
