MASC (Manitoba Association of Senior Communities)

MASC is the provincial focal point to facilitate communication, networking and planning among senior communities and raise their profiles. The Association also assists in the development of senior communities and collaborates with other senior serving organizations.

Philosophy of Senior Communities:
Aging is a normal part of the developmental process. We all need peers whom they can interact and who are available as a source of encouragement and support. As older adults we have the right to have a voice in determining matters in which we have a vital interest. A person's sense of well-being is enhanced when one obtains balance and satisfaction in the various personal components, such as emotional, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual. 

What are Senior Communities?
Senior Communities are health promoting, capacity building, and community focal points on aging where older persons come together for services and activities that enhance their dignity & support their independence
