The Epilepsy Association, Metro Toronto, is initiating a program to assist older adults who have experienced seizures. Older adults may experience seizures as a result of stroke, brain injury or other illnesses.

To ensure that the program is designed to meet your needs, we would be interested in talking with you about your concerns and what you would like to see included in this new service. Please feel free to photocopy this newsletter and share it. The Seniors' Task Force is an initiative of Toronto City Council whose mandate is to identify issues, priorities and citizen input models so that seniors' voices are reflected in the new City.
