Province providing $250,000 in grant funding to help seniors live independently
The Saskatchewan government is aiming to help seniors live independently at home and in their home communities.
That’s why it’s offering $250,000 in one-time grant funding for organizations and community groups that support senior living.
The program is encouraging the development and testing of new ways to support seniors’ independence, the government said, with the ultimate goal of using those new approaches more widely across Saskatchewan. The funding will go towards 10 community projects, with each to receive up to $20,000.
“The provincial government is committed to improving the health and well-being of Saskatchewan seniors,” Everett Hindley, Saskatchewan’s seniors minister, said in a statement Tuesday.
