Clerk Patty Sinnamon says the Close to Home seniors program will be honoured with an award from the Alzheimer Society.
She told council she thinks the award is a reflection of the great work the program does and it should bode well for future funding.
Sinnamon recently said a three-year $507,500 grant for the program will soon expire and the township, as the lead for the program, will be seeking three more years worth of funding from the Waterloo-Wellington Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).
The Mapleton program was one of 20 in the network’s catchment area to receive a grant in February 2008.
