More seniors active living centres in Chatham-Kent are getting more provincial funding to help local seniors stay active, healthy, engaged, and connected in their communities.
Chatham-Kent–Leamington MPP Trevor Jones has announced a total of $446,402 in provincial funding to support eight seniors centres across CK.
Jones said the funding will help the centres continue delivering programs and services that promote healthy aging, social inclusion, physical activity, and independent living for older adults close to home.
“Seniors Active Living Centres play an important role in helping older adults stay active, engaged, and connected within their communities,” said Jones. “This investment will ensure that more seniors in Chatham-Kent–Leamington have access to programs and services that support healthy, independent living while fostering meaningful social connections close to home.”
