Emergency Lock Box

Have you ever asked yourself, how could I be rescued if my door was locked? Time is of the essence during a fire or medical emergency. Install a Lock Box – a small weather-resistant metal box that securely holds a set of keys. Should an emergency occur while you are unable to open the door or get out of the residence, Brandon Fire & Emergency Services (BFES) can access your property without having to break-in. Contact Brandon Seniors for Seniors Co-op Inc. at 204-571-2050 for more information.
Note: If you are a veteran/spouse residing in Brandon then you may be eligible for subsidized lock box costs under this program – funding is limited. Please contact our office for more information.

Government Grant for Restrictions in Walking

With tax season upon us, it’s important to consider whether you are eligible for the disability credit. If you have had a prolonged disability due to a hip or knee condition or other medical conditions such as copd, diabetes, neuropathy, etc, that cause restrictions in walking or dressing, you may qualify for a $2,500 yearly credit, as well as a $25,000 Lump Sum Refund. We have assisted thousands of Canadians to get this credit and can help you get the money you deserve. For the most reliable service in Canada and the lowest fee, call Brett Scott 1-844-453-5372.

Look for Local

Made in Winnipeg, Bliss Gourmet Cookies are hand-crafted authentic Italian recipes that have been passed down three generations. Bliss Gourmet has strong family ties to Italian culture, instilled in the family by their father, who gave them the drive to share the traditions. Growing up in the family business, working alongside their father, the family developed the art and fueled their passion for baking. These baked goods have symbolic meaning, so carrying on their father’s recipes and legacy makes them feel closer to him. Look for Manitoba-made Bliss Gourmet Cookies the next time you do your grocery shopping at Sobeys.
