Last Update: July 8, 2026
Latest change: The Financial Assistance page no longer shows the F.A.R.E. eligibility rules or application instructions and now presents a notice that the program is being updated.
F.A.R.E. program details updated
The Financial Assistance page removed the F.A.R.E. eligibility rules and application instructions that previously listed Oxford County residency, household income below the Low Income Cut Offs, proof of financial status, and submission by online form or in person at the Tillsonburg Community Centre. It now shows only a notice that the F.A.R.E. program is currently being updated and to check back soon for a new application. A revised F.A.R.E. application form PDF is also present, but the page-level change means the applicant guidance now shown to visitors is materially different from before. The Jumpstart section remains visible, so the scope and target audience presented on this page have shifted away from the full F.A.R.E. instructions.
