Seniors projects are the result of collaboration and partnering that takes place with the Cherry Brook Lake Loon Seniors group, the Dartmouth Learning Network and Seniors Nova Scotia. - Gambling Awareness
This project was funded by the Nova Scotia Gaming Foundation renamed the Gambling Association of Nova Scotia (GANS) in 2011.
