Our government is strongly committed to ensuring that supports and resources are available for the transitions between living settings; from living independently in your own home and community to living in another setting. We are also dedicated to ensuring that quality, dependable and affordable supports are available when independent living is no longer possible.
Now that we have completed the work of asking Manitobans what they would like to see in the seniors strategy, the results of what we heard are being thoroughly evaluated and the strategy is being written.
As a senior, you have spent your life working, raising families, volunteering, and supporting and building your communities, and it is my honour to serve and support you as we prepare to share a plan that will make Manitoba an ideal place to age, live well, and prosper.
I look forward to sharing with you what Manitobans have shared with us in the consultations. It is expected that I will deliver the plan that reflects what we heard from Manitobans, before spring is upon us.
