Information Dundas councillors field nearly 10,000 requests for information each year on a huge variety of topics. Mrs. Young has expanded her service to DCS over the years. She sits on all Seniors' Services committees and has been on the Information Dundas management committee almost since she arrived. In addition, she has represented the Information Dundas service of DCS at a number of conferences. It's good to make a difference.
Volunteers are vital to our success.
In coming months, Insight will bring you profiles of some of the many volunteers who help us serve the people of Dundas. Scam artists targeted at seminar for seniors Scam artists who target seniors, and ways to avoid being victimized were the topics of a seminar held 30 at Dundas Town Hall. Along with Paul Crowther from the Corporate Security division of the Royal Bank of Canada, she offered concrete advice on how seniors can protect themselves from the kinds of fraud practiced primarily against them. The seminar, co-sponsored by Dundas Community Services and the Royal Bank, was attended by 64 seniors. Fallfest returns More than 200 people visited a variety of displays to learn about health and safety issues, community services, and recreational opportunities for seniors at Fallfest 98, an information fair for seniors and caregivers of older adults.
