Elected
officials have the power to make community support services accessible
to all those in need. Find out where your local candidates stand on the
issue, and what they will do to help tackle community support services
problems and concerns.
Here
are a few things to ask:
- The
number of seniors in Ottawa will double by 2020. Will you support an
increase in community support services to meet the needs of this growing
group of people and help them stay healthier longer?
- 80
percent of Canadians polled believed the elderly and dying should be
given access to community support services. Do you agree? If so, will
you support additional funding to ensure these necessary services are
available to those who need them?
- For
many people with disabilities, acquiring and retaining employment is
dependent upon community support services. Will you support funding
to ensure services are accessible to these individuals so they can remain
active in the workforce and the community?
- Helping
people maintain their independence results in lower costs to the community
in the long term. Will you support increased funding to enable the province
to deliver the required level of community support services?
