The North Simcoe Directory of
Senior Services is Live!
|
|
About the North Simcoe Directory of Senior Services
This Directory was created in response to requests about available senior services in North Simcoe and surrounding areas. This was a need raised through public consultation during the development of Tiny’s Local Aging Plan in 2016 and through working with Senior Advisory Committees in neighbouring municipalities. The Directory is a resource guide and serves as a phone and service directory for seniors and their families. It is published every two years.
