Today, Canada’s Minister of Seniors, Joanne Thompson, announced $1.57 million in funding for three pilot projects in Manitoba. The Minister was joined by Kevin Lamoureux, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg North and Ben Carr, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South Centre. These projects mobilize volunteers to help low-income and otherwise vulnerable seniors in their homes. They were selected after an open call for proposals under the Age Well at Home initiative’s In-Home Support Pilot Project stream.
