Canadian News for Seniors
At the Long Term and Continuing Care Association of Manitoba (LTCAM), we are committed to keeping the seniors of Manitoba informed and empowered. That's why we regularly post Canadian federal press releases that directly impact the well-being and care of our senior community. By sharing these updates, we aim to provide valuable information on policies, programs, and initiatives that may affect the lives of seniors in our province. Staying up-to-date with federal announcements helps us advocate for better support and resources for our elderly population. We believe that informed seniors and caregivers make for a stronger and more resilient community, and our dedication to sharing relevant press releases reflects our mission to ensure the best possible care and quality of life for Manitoba's seniors.

On World Health Day 2024, Canadian health ministers emphasize the right to health and equal access to healthcare services. This year's theme, "My health, my right," highlights efforts to ensure accessible and respectful healthcare without discrimination. Canada is working on various initiatives, including supporting international health equity, improving public health systems, combating climate impacts on health, and more. Domestically, significant investments are being made to strengthen the health workforce, enhance mental health services, and modernize the healthcare system, including the introduction of national universal pharmacare and the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
