“This is where a wish begins” ❤️

Not with a form.
Not with a fundraiser.
Not with a big moment.

Sometimes, a wish begins with a conversation.
A visit.
A story shared between generations.
Someone taking the time to truly listen.

This simple moment could be the beginning of something life changing.

At We Are Young, we have learned that seniors still carry dreams, hopes, and wishes close to their hearts. Sometimes they simply need someone to ask: “What would your wish be?”

And sometimes, even the possibility of that wish becoming reality can spark excitement, hope, connection, and something meaningful to look forward to again.

If there is a senior in your life who could benefit from having a wish granted, we would love to hear their story.

Nominate a senior in your life today https://www.weareyoung.ca/submit-a-wish ❤

Being asked for presentations on important safety issues for our communities' older adults is a welcomed event.
This past Monday RCMP CST Kay and LCSSP held Scam Prevention conversations in New Germany at the Rosedale Home For Rosedale Home for Special Care. Being able to navigate the digital world safely or what to do if you think you've been scammed is empowering. Thank you, Staff and Residents of Rosedale. We very much enjoyed our afternoon with you.

May 3 to May 9 is Emergency Preparedness Week. The theme is "Be Ready. Stay Safe. Stay Informed."

Emergencies can happen at any time, but taking a few simple steps now can make a big difference later.
✔️ Build or update your emergency kit.
✔️ Make a family emergency plan.
✔️ Know where to find trusted, local information during an emergency.

This week, REMO and its municipal partners are encouraging residents to take part in any of the events happening throughout Lunenburg County:

Visit your local municipal office or town hall in the Municipality of Chester, Municipality of the District of Lunenburg - MODL, Town of Mahone Bay, Town of Lunenburg, or Town of Bridgewater to enter a ballot for a chance to win an Emergency kit giveaway. Castle Building Centre in Blockhouse is giving away a generator! Stop in for a chance to win! On May 7, visit Fastening House Atlantic to enter a ballot to win a rechargeable battery!

Join Nova Scotia Emergency Management at the Margaret Hennigar Library - located in the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre (LCLC) - on May 5 at 6:30pm for a Public Information Session to discuss Emergency Preparedness and again on May 13 at 1:00pm to learn how to install and set up the NS Alert app (bring your mobile device!).
