March 27, 2008
PLESSISVILLE, Quebec — On behalf of the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development, the Honourable Monte Solberg, and the Leader of the Government in the Senate and Secretary of State (Seniors), the Honourable Marjory LeBreton, the Secretary of State (Agriculture) and Member for Mégantic—L’Érable, the Honourable Christian Paradis, today congratulated the Club de L'Âge d'Or de Plessisville for its selection for funding under the New Horizons for Seniors Program. This funding will give the seniors of Plessisville the opportunity to participate and play a leadership role in the life of their community. A total of $10,000 is being paid to the Club de L'Âge d'Or de Plessisville. “The Government of Canada is proud to help seniors strengthen communities and build our country,” said Mr. Paradis. “These projects will encourage seniors to continue sharing their skills and wisdom and allow others to benefit from their experience.” In the 2007 budget, the Government of Canada announced an additional $10 million per year for two new components of the New Horizons for Seniors Program, designed to raise public awareness of elder abuse and to provide capital assistance for upgrading facilities and equipment used for existing seniors programs. The projects funded under these new components will be announced in spring 2008. |
