If you've recently had difficulty paying, or are concerned about making your next payment, Winter Warmth may be able to help.
Winter Warmth is coordinated by a network of community agencies through the United Way and is sponsored by Enbridge Gas Distribution, Enersource Hydro Mississauga, Hydro Ottawa Ltd, PowerStream, Toronto Hydro-Electric System Ltd and Union Gas.
