44 small projects, one goal: Nova Scotia's seniors stay active, fed and connected

Nova Scotia's Age-Friendly Communities Grant program is backing 44 community projects that help seniors age well and stay connected. In Dartmouth, VETS Canada is using a $20,000 (about $14,600) grant to run a food pantry and community kitchen for older veterans, delivering food to those in rural areas or with mobility challenges. Recreation Nova Scotia received $10,000 (about $7,300) to make videos teaching seniors to safely use borrowable equipment like Nordic walking poles, snowshoes and bicycles.
