MODIFIED PROGRAMS/SERVICES

On December 21, 2020, the Province of Ontario announced a 28-day extension of the Covid-19 Emergency Orders.  While many of the programs offered by the Seniors’ Community Services are considered an essential service, our centre remains closed to the public until January 23, 2021 - with the exception of our footcare program clients. 

The staff and volunteers at Seniors’ Community Services adhere strictly to the guidelines set forth by public health authorities and as circumstances change, we will continue to adapt our plans and protocols to respond to the evolving situation so that we can continue to offer essential programs and services to seniors living in our community. 

The following is a list of our modified programs and services:

Centre:

Footcare: Fee for Service (Available by Appointment Only)

Proper foot care is very important in all stages of life, but especially in later years, which is why this program is considered an essential service.
