I encourage seniors and their families and caregivers to log on to www.seniorsinfo.ca to get answers to their questions.” Need to find out whether you may be eligible to receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement? Want information about OHIP coverage, or a special seniors program at your local library?

Seniors without computers will be able to access this through our local libraries and be kept informed of all programs and projects available for them.

Arran-Elderslie is happy to be part of this initiative and we thank the Ontario Seniors’ Secretariat for providing the opportunity,” said Mayor Ron Oswald.
