Senior Citizens
now have their own
guide to services
and pmgrams.
Ontario's Senior. Citizens have contributed a great deal to our
province, and to help ensure that they can enjoy healthier and
more active lives, the Ontario Government has published a
new booklet called "Guide for Senior Citizens". This handy
reference guide describes the wide range of services and
programs available for seniors in Ontario.
The Guide includes information on health care programs,
housing assistance, tax grants, community clubs and centres,
and many other subjects of interest to_seniors in Ontario. By
the end of February, all Ontario Senloi Citizens who receive the
Old Age pension will receive a copy of the Guide in the mail.
Others who would like a copy can write to:
