| Services For
Seniors Guide - A One Stop Shop

One
of the most challenging things about being a
consumer is not knowing where to go for information,
especially when it comes to government services.
The
problem can be particularly frustrating for seniors.
To help, the federal government has produced a
helpful new guide, Services for Seniors.
The
guide is designed for Canadian seniors, those over
50 who are planning their retirement, families of
seniors, or their caregivers. It lists more than 120
federal government resources for seniors and their
families, including information on finances and
pensions, health and wellness, housing, safety and
security, veterans and Canada's military, consumer
issues, travel and leisure, and computers and
learning.
Research conducted by Service Canada has found that
Canadian seniors are not always aware of the
services available to them and would appreciate
being able to see all government initiatives
described in one complete guide.
The
Services for Seniors guide does just that and more,
offering information on how to easily access these
programs through Service Canada. There's even a
helpful section on how to contact provincial or
territorial government offices.
The
guide is presented in a larger-than-average print
size for readers whose eyesight may be a problem. It
is also available in alternate formats. You can view
or download the guide at servicecanada.gc.ca.
You
can also obtain a copy through 1 800 O-Canada (1 800
622-6232 or TTY 1 800 926-9105), by email at guide@canada.gc.ca
or in person at one of the 320+ Service Canada
Centres nearest you.
