David Tilson, MP for Dufferin - Caledon, and the Orangeville and District Seniors Centre hosted a successful information forum last Friday.

Representing the Orangeville Police Service, Constable Scott Davis educated the crowd on the growing problem of identity theft and fraud in a presentation dubbed "Fraud Busters".

Valerie Quarrie, from Dufferin County, listed the many services the county offers senior citizens. Also from the county, Betty Speer shed light on the county's numerous options for senior citizens' subsidized housing.

To finish, Pip McBride presented information on Help Call, an emergency system designed to minimize the obstacles faced by seniors living at home.

Focusing on concerns which have a convoluted nature, the expo was extremely successful at educating the attendees.

"This event is extremely important for the citizens of the community," Mr. Tilson said. "Following success of previous years, this morning's expo has been more informative and enjoyable then ever. Due to the success of the expo this will not be the last time I host such an event."

Following the information and question segment of the expo, provided by Egan's Funeral Home, attendees and presenters were treated to a tasty lunch and a chance to socialize with fellow citizens.
