We live in a community where our seniors are an active and integral part of what makes our community great, citizens who give of their time and energy, often helping to remind us all of the secret to keeping that small town feeling that drew so many of us here to Morinville.

Fraud protection
More than 20 Heritage Lodge residents gathered in the dining room to listen to an information session on fraud presented by RCMP Constable Luc Rogers Nov. 19. Many schemes and scams were discussed, including scenarios where someone calls and wants emergency money, lottery sweepstakes, winning trips by phone, receiving a cheque and having the person deposit the fraudulent cheque and wire most of it back to sender. Some seniors shared their own stories and experiences with scammers and the numerous phone calls asking for personal and bank information. Residents were encouraged to report suspicious activities to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or on-line at antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.
