Ted Falk, Member of Parliament for Provencher, would like to remind organizations in Provencher that the deadline for applications to the New Horizons for seniors Program is July 4, 2014.

“Canadian seniors have played a central part in building this country,” said MP Falk. “They deserve our support to help them enjoy the best quality of life possible and our government continues to translate that support into grassroots initiatives such as the New Horizons for Seniors Program.”

The Government of Canada is seeking applications for projects that will help Canadian seniors use their leadership abilities, skills and experience to continue to make a difference in their communities. Organizations may receive up to $25,000 in grant funding. Projects must address one or more of the program’s five objectives: volunteering, mentoring, expanding awareness of elder abuse, social participation and capital assistance.
