seniors' health

According to Statistics Canada, seniors are the fastest growing age group in Canada.  The senior population is expected to double in the next 25 years, with New Brunswick being among the provinces with the highest senior population. 

As we age, we are faced with new considerations when it comes to our health and wellbeing.  Below are some resources to assist in healthy aging.

Many resources and services are available free of charge at the Seniors' Resource Centre.  Visit their offices on the 3rd Level of Brunswick Square or call 633-8781.
