History
- TDCSS began in 1970 as a Resource Board.
- January 1972, the committee polled the community to evaluate the effectiveness of existing services and project future needs. A directory of services was compiled as follows: Special Services to children, elderly, and handicapped; health education; recreational service clubs; and associations and churches. TDCSS was set up as a referral and information centre.
- On March 1, 1974, the Crisis Line opened and on November 1, 1974, the Society began Meals-On-Wheels and the Homemakers Service.
