It’s welcome news to municipalities hoping to improve the quality of life for older adults living in their communities.
The Greater Madawaska 55+ Club program will receive annual funding of up to $55,000 from the provincial government as part of the Seniors Active Living (SALC) program. It’s one of four Renfrew County municipalities tagged for new SALC funding.
Also set to benefit are Laurentian Valley, Deep River and Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation.
Greater Madawaska Rob Weir thanked the province for the funding, as well as staff for their hard work and dedication on the project. He also noted the hard work and commitment from the volunteers who made everything possible.
