NEW SENIORS’ GUIDE

Guide Offers Quick Access
To Resources for Seniors: Minister Crothers
The Manitoba government is launching a new edition of the Seniors’
Guide, Healthy Living and Seniors Minister Deanne Crothers announced today at
the Creative Retirement Manitoba Centre in Winnipeg.
“We’re always striving to provide more information to help
Manitoba seniors,” said Minister Crothers. “The Seniors’ Guide was first
printed more than 30 years ago and not surprisingly, it is still one of the
province’s most popular publications. This guide is filled with helpful
information so that seniors and their families have quick access to information
that can enhance their health, independence and well-being.”
The minister said the new edition of the guide provides
information on health and wellness, active living, lifelong learning, housing,
transportation, financial security, legal matters, home safety, caregiving,
emergency services and much more. She encourages older Manitobans and
their families to keep a copy handy for referral on these important topics.
“The senior years are exciting and challenging,” said Dave
Schellenberg, chair, Manitoba Council on Aging. “Our council believes it
is important to have access to as much information as possible to help us
better understand and enjoy life.”
