Funding is on the way for local seniors.
MP Anthony Rota announced The Department of Seniors is investing over $90,000 through the New Horizons for Seniors program to assist four organizations in the riding.
In North Bay, funding is going to the Near North Palliative Care Network and North Bay Pride. Rota says the projects being supported will provide seniors with an opportunity to participate in activities which nurture growth – Over $24,000 is on the way to the palliative care network’s Adult Day Program. It offers workshops, presentations and activities for the benefit of older adults and seniors who come from low-income and socially isolated backgrounds.
For North Bay Pride, nearly $17,000 will help seniors’ theatre-based events, as well as offer support and mentorship.
