Huron Bruce MPP announces senior community grants

Huron Bruce MPP, Lisa Thompson, has announced that Ontario is investing in nearly $40,000 for Huron – Bruce seniors.

She says this year’s Seniors Community Grant project will help Ontario’s Seniors to stay fit, active, healthy and in their communities.

The Municipality of Brockton will receive $14,478 to improve cognitive health and abilities for those aged 55 and over through physical fitness, healthy eating, and keeping their minds active through social interaction, seminars and creative activities.

The MacKay Centre for Seniors in Goderich will receive $25,000 to enhance coping skills needed to navigate post-COVID reconnections building on their lived experience through the delivery of an education and skills building program to isolated older adults so they can stay active and socially engaged.

“These projects will make a big difference in the lives of older Ontarians here in Huron – Bruce,” said Lisa Thompson, MPP for Huron – Bruce. “They offer meaningful opportunities for older adults to safely take part in local life and keep connected to friends, family and the community.”
