You May Be Eligible to these Seniors' Benefits

     
        
Last Friday I wrote a post called 'Are You Eligible to Ontario Senior Homeowners' Property Tax Grant'.  On second thought, I should post a list of seniors benefits so that people can check into and find if they may have missed out. I Google searched 'Ontario Seniors Benefits' and located the related information.  Hope that you find them helpful and useful.
