This summer is quite different for the seniors’ programs for along the coast.
We spoke with each of the Department of Health and Social Development workers and they say that so far, they have a few programs on the go for seniors.
For Nain, as of right now they don’t have anything planed as they are short staffed.
For Hopedale they are not doing anything as of right now and is postponed until further notice.
