Services for Canadian Seniors

The other day I was wondering if there was a single source of information on Programs and Services for Seniors that I could refer people to in Canada.  I knew that there are a variety of programs and services to help us ensure our later years are safe and secure. Our government has put links to some great information and I have it below for your use.

If you are not comfortable on the net, or you have friends who are not at ease on the Internet have them call 1 800 O-Canada (1-800-622-6232) to find out what services are available to seniors in Canada.
