Folks with contacts in the west, have been made well aware that the warning snows had been and gone. The popular opinion from my Alberta folks is that winter is there to stay. It didn't take too long to clue in that the 18°C days of November were done. Ah, November. With winter plans on the books, the One Care Home and Community Support Services want the world to know that they have several services that could benefit folks with limited navigation. A call to One Care 1- 877-502-8277 will review the list of services at hand. The newest one for the community benefit is hot Meals on Wheels offered three times a week. To make life simple, a monthly invoice looks after the payment. So nutrition should not be an issue here with three good restaurants, all accessible, senior dining twice a month at the United Church, Friday Legion suppers and the weekly Soup & More 2 lunch. It's a matter of finding the service that suits you. So be sure to call the above number if delivered meals will help your life. This offers an new opportunity for volunteers to help keep folks in their homes.
