Manitoba Seniors and Healthy Aging Secretariat

Fact Sheets

The Council tries to meet seniors’ needs by providing information in a variety of formats. The Manitoba Senior Citizens’ Handbook, first produced by the Council in 1981, provides information on programs, resources and services for older Manitobans. This valuable resource is used extensively by seniors, their families, and by service providers and professionals who work with Manitoba seniors. In 1998, the Council produced the seventh edition of the Handbook in a new format and with a new name - The Manitoba Seniors’ Guide.

The Council developed a series of fact sheets for seniors on a select list of topics including:

• Apartment Security;
  
  
• Replacing Lost I.D. Cards;
  
  
• Safety Tips to Prevent Purse Snatchings;
  
  
• Making Things Easier for Those You Leave Behind;
  
  
• Seniors and Active Living; and
  
  
• Safety in Your Vehicle.
