The 11th Avenue Hall in Dauphin is set to host an informative event on Monday.
From 10:00 to 4:00, there will be an older adults police academy. It's for those aged 18 and older. It focuses on skills and safety principles for older adults, and empowers participants with key information.
Lacey Clarkson is a corporal with the RCMP Community Engagement Services.
"We provide participants with information on a variety of topics," said Clarkson. "They include elder abuse, medication safety, fraud and scams, fire safety, wills, and power of attorney. We're coming to the table with a ton of information for those who come."
Dauphin's Fire Chief, Cam Abrey, is among those who will speak. Joe Coffey and Jack Koreliuk of Sneath-Strilchuk Funeral Services will also speak. Clarkson says this is a key meeting and she welcomes the entire community to join.
It's free and there will be door prizes with a light lunch.
"We just held one in Winnipegosis on Friday and had plenty of positive feedback," ended Clarkson. "There was a ton of great information. In particular, especially frauds and scams piece because many people are dealing with that right now."
On Tuesday, there will be a pop-up navigation day event. Stay tuned to CKDM News on Monday for more information on that.
