How Can Our Growing Senior Population Live And Age Well?

The government and others want to focus on the healthy happy seniors in this province that want a say in the future.
 

A roundtable discussion on aging well and living healthy is coming up tonight on the West side, one of 9 public sessions in the province.    The first was held last night in Moncton.
 

Minister of Healthy and Inclusive Communities Dorothy Shephard tells CHSJ News says 97 per cent of our aging population are still living at home.

She says that's a really good thing adding they want to keep them at home as long as they can and want to remain at home.

Tonight's event begins at the Branch 69 Legion on Wilson Street at 6pm.


Shephard says the data collected by the provincial health council from the 9 sessions will be compiled to determine the priorities for seniors.
