Minister Brug emphasized the importance of initiatives such as Senior Connect, stating that ensuring seniors are informed, supported, and connected remains a priority for the Ministry. “I continue to reiterate that our seniors deserve clear access to information and services that support their health, independence, and quality of life. Senior Connect is about bringing those services closer to them and strengthening the support network around our elderly community,” the Minister stated.
The Ministry encourages seniors, caregivers, and family members to attend and take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about available services and resources.
