Good Afternoon,
On behalf of the TONS (Transportation Options Network for Seniors) Board of Directors, I am pleased to share with you the informational resource that is attached in two formats for your viewing ease. In light of November being falls prevention month and with the wintery months rapidly approaching, we would like to highlight the importance of snow clearing for sidewalks and roads in Manitoba and especially with an increase in Snow Birds likely to be staying within your communities this winter. Now more than ever, Older Manitobans need to have options for staying active and independent within their communities so we can ensure the health and vitality of our aging population. Community mobility is an essential component of an age friendly community, its essential for ensuring a sense of freedom even during the winter months and especially as COVID has impacted the ability for individuals to remain active indoors. Please share this as widely as possible and especially to ensure this informational resource makes its way to businesses, municipalities, government departments and not for profit organizations.
If you have any questions or would like the opportunity to discuss further, please feel free to contact me with the information listed below.
Thank you,
Samantha Rodeck
Executive Director
