Minister Brug said the Ministry remains focused on ensuring seniors have reliable access to information and services that help them stay healthy, independent, and supported. “I continue to reiterate that our seniors deserve clear access to information and services that support their health, independence, and quality of life. Senior Connect is about bringing those services closer to them and strengthening the support network around our elderly community,” the Minister stated.
