Aging with Confidence: Ontario's Action Plan for Seniors from Ministry of Seniors Affairs, 7 Nov 2017, 10:00 am.
● CLICK HERE to download a PDF of "Aging with Confidence: Ontario's Action Plan for Seniors".
● In brief, the new action plan offers:
● A one-stop website where seniors can find information about tax credits, drug coverage, powers of attorney, recreation programs, and more.
● An annual high-dose influenza vaccine, targeted to protect seniors, which will be available free of charge as part of the Ontario Universal Influenza Immunization Program, starting in the 2018-2019 flu season.
● Support for "naturally occurring" retirement communities by investing more than $15 million over two years for apartment buildings or housing developments where many seniors already live close to one another.
● More volunteering opportunities connecting seniors and youth, fostering learning and mentorship while reducing older people's risk of social isolation.
● 5,000 new Long Term Care (LTC) beds over the next four years and 15 million more hours of nursing, personal support and therapeutic care annually for residents in LTC homes, as well as a 10-year plan to create more than 30,000 new beds over the next decade, working with the long-term care sector.

Instructor: Sandy Pomeroy
"Simple. Delicious. Healthy. For everyone. These are the ideas upon which Sandy Pomeroy, head chef at Goodness Me!, Lifewatchers instructor, and now author, based her cookbook. Introducing Grain-Free Goodness, Sandy's first and very delicious book. Sandy has worked for Goodness Me! for close to 20 years, helping to inspire people toward healthy living with her recipes, classes, and enthusiasm for food. You've probably met her at some point, heard her name, or tried one of her recipes. Now, she has compiled all of her favourite recipes into one spot: Grain-Free Goodness.
Come hear Sandy's story, including why she got into healthy eating in the first place, how she started with Goodness Me!, what health challenges she has faced, and why she adapted the grain-free lifestyle. She'll show you the benefits of this type of diet, explain why she chooses to use certain ingredients, and you'll get to taste just how delicious this lifestyle can be with a few recipe samples from Sandy's book. After hearing about her food philosophy and seeing how easy and delicious healthy eating can be, you'll walk away thinking, 'I can make that'.
This event will include a class with Sandy Pomeroy, recipe samples, Q&A with Sandy, and book signing." ~ Goodness Me!
