The Rainbow Resource Centre's executive director, Noreen Mian, told Global Winnipeg that a new seniors' housing complex is just one aspect of a larger plan.for 2SLGBTQ+ seniors — the first of its kind in Canada — is expected to make a huge difference for its residents in their golden years.
The centre’s executive director, Noreen Mian, told Global Winnipeg the housing is just one aspect of a larger plan. “What we are starting to hear from some of our folks was that they were scared to enter long-term care or congregate living. Stereotypes still exist, and the health-care system hasn’t necessarily caught up in terms of changes, and people are fearful that they won’t receive the right level of care — that they won’t be supported by their peers.
“It makes all kinds of difference. Feeling safe and feeling comfortable where you are gives you confidence, it just makes life so much easier. You can do what you need to do when you need to do it. It’s amazing,” Byer said.“It’s really a great idea. Being able to be among others who are like me. Having the opportunity to just be who we are.
