SENIOR ISSUES
Health Care
As a senior, you should be looking forward to enjoying your retirement, and
have easy and affordable access to city's facilities and the health care
system.
In Thunder Bay we are blessed with a beautiful natural setting. Centres like the 55+ have done wonderful things for our seniors, and the City's Homes for the Aged have strived to maintain a high level of service and care for elders.
While this city and region have some very committed health care professionals who have been working under some very difficult circumstances, the city also rates on the low end of a recent health care study.
Proper health care for our city and surrounding region is very high on my priority list. As your Councillor, I will work tirelessly with the key health care groups and organizations in the region to ensure that we have the health care professionals that we need to make this one of the best place in Canada to live.
You have also told me that other issues dear to you as a senior are:
Youth out-migration
I believe that given the opportunity most people would like to have
their children and grandchildren near them, and not have to travel to different
parts of the country to visit them. Unfortunately, Thunder Bay is witnessing a
major out-migration, the impact of which has major implications for the future
of our community.

out-migration.
City's Finances
As a senior on fixed income, financial responsibility and accountability in
government are very important to ensure that you get value for your tax dollars.
