The provincial government is investing $226,228 to strengthen operations at seven local Seniors Active Living Centres.
Funding recipients include the Dryden Go-Getters, Happy Go Lucky Seniors Club in Vermilion Bay as well as facilities in Kenora, Rainy River, Sioux Narrows/Nestor Falls, Stratton and Fort Frances.
Kenora-Rainy River MPP Greg Rickford says, “Our government is providing more options for seniors to stay healthy and access rewarding, fun activities.”
Raymond Cho is the Minister for Seniors and Accessibility and adds, “Seniors Active Living Centres help keep seniors fit, active and connected to family, friends and our communities. Our government’s investment will help older adults come together and stay engaged. Seniors Active Living Centres are the glue that keeps our neighbourhoods together.”
It is part of a $14.3 million commitment to support nearly 300 Senior Centres across Ontario.
