HRM’s seniors worked hard and sacrificed to help build the municipality we all enjoy today. We need to make sure they are heard, supported, and recognized.
My plan would...
Support organizations that offer volunteer or social programs that target and engage seniors in community life with both grants and administrative support for filling out funding applications, strategic planning, and budgets.
Establish a municipal senior advisory council made up of community representatives to advocate for senior issues, ensuring that the voices of seniors are heard in policy-making.
Expand and improve the reliability of the Access-A-Bus service across HRM, which provides door-to-door transit for seniors who face mobility challenges.
