“Some $380M is now in limbo after reductions in the federal workforce affected staff that run a program helping low-income people pay their energy bills.

LIHEAP helps ~6M people survive blistering summers & freezing winters, many whom face greater risks now that the year’s warm season has already brought unusually high temperatures.”

Seniors in Canada have been disrespected for too long. Both Conservatives and Liberals have failed them—pushing cuts, clawbacks, and neglecting their needs. With rising costs, pensions are eroded while billionaires get tax breaks. Clawbacks must end, and we will fix it by prioritizing dignity, security, and real financial support for seniors. #election2025 #canpoli #cdnpoli #seniors #ndp #portmoody #coquitlam

In difficult times let’s open our doors to help. At our Open Doors Community we offer a free Thursday Lunch: geared toward seniors at noon on Thursdays. This program is offered free of charge, though a pay-as-you-are-able donation is always appreciated. All are welcome!

There’s also a free Tuesday dinner, foodbank, clothing bank and more.

#Seniors #SocialSecurity

All #SeniorCitizens like me (I'm 75 this year) are not addled or infirm but thanks for offering your help to help those who may be.

I know how to access the #SSA website & receive notices from them periodically, including the recent notice of the 40% increase in my #SocialSecurityBenefits plus a nice lump sum payment for past due benefits that I just received due to the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act (#SSFA).
