LINKS TO POINTS OF INTEREST

This directory was created as part of the Pathways website project. Pathways was created by family doctors to provide physicians and their teams better information to support patient care.

Community Service Information is one type of information that the Pathways team has collected and made easily searchable.

In communities where there is interest, family doctors and community organizations have come together to make the Pathways Community Service Directory available to citizens. Pathways is a federal not for profit society and is an initiative of Divisions of Family Practice that is funded by the General Practice Services Committee.
