WHO ARE WE?
The West Hants Seniors Safety Association is an organization that is governed by a Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is composed of volunteers from the local community. Acting as a Board, the Directors have the power to direct the organization in such a way as to make certain the objectives of the program are achieved. The program is a non-profit organization, totally funded through donations and fund-raising activities. The Program operates out of office space provided by the Windsor District RCMP Detachment. Other partners associated with the program are the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 009, the West Hants Community Health Board and the West Hants/Cobequid Preventing Falls Together Coalition.
