"In Canada, the retirement income system has been successful in reducing the incidence of poverty among Canadian seniors due mainly to Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and OAS. However, of those who do struggle to make ends meet in retirement, single seniors are hardest hit. They are nearly three times more likely to live in low income than seniors generally." What the budget means for seniors
A Typical user of this Site would be a Single Senior Citizen on a Fixed Income.
Also because women live longer than men probably more women than men.
Though the situation could be the opposite just as easily.
Or perhaps that senior has been single most of their life or their entire life.
Another common situation is a single senior who had to retire early because of health reasons.
It very difficult if not impossible in many cases to live off one pension.
We tackle the basics: Affordable Housing, Food stability, Heat, Supplement programmes
for seniors on fixed incomes.
We try to make this site as user friendly as possible.
For example having phone contact numbers and actual names of people
you can talk to. Simple things that matter like making phone number bold and

be of benefit to seniors on fixed incomes.
