A lovely senior woman living in Pierrefonds would benefit greatly from having a female volunteer advocate to accompany her for groceries, or to go out for a coffee on occasion. She has very little family support and so your help would be much appreciated.

Grey Rights book

Date: ongoing
Place: available at Citizen Advocacy
Cost: free

West Island Citizen Advocacy has released its 5th edition of the Grey Rights booklet, aimed at providing valuable information pertinent to seniors.

This bilingual guide provides basic information on a variety of topics such as health and social services, housing for seniors, pensions, will and estates, mandates, as well as other topics.

“It’s very important that seniors understand their rights and have access to this information,” said Mary Clare Tanguay, Director of Citizen Advocacy.

The publication of the document was made possible thanks to a grant from New Horizons, the Government of Canada, Ministère des familles et des aînés and the Berthiaume-Du Tremblay Foundation.

To receive your copy of the Grey Rights booklet, please call West Island Citizen Advocacy at 514-694-5850.
