Seniors' Safety

Resource Materials for seniors are available in the Safe City office located at 150 Central Park Drive, Suite 019.  This wide-range of information provides tools that allow seniors to be proactive with ensuring their personal and community safety.  Safe City works with community groups and organizations that support seniors to ensure that there are adequate resources available for interested group and individuals who want to make community safety a priority.  To find out more about our resources for seniors, or to pick up a copy of the S.A.L.T Newsletter (Seniors and Law Enforcement Together), please contact Beverley Rawn at (905) 793-5484 or by e-mail at beverley.rawn@city.brampton.on.ca.
