The Government of Manitoba has committed to improving care for seniors by creating an independent Seniors’ Advocate. Establishing a Seniors’ Advocate will help ensure that seniors in Manitoba not only have high-quality programs and services, but that their rights, interests, and viewpoints are represented.
The Seniors Advocate Act has been proclaimed to come into force on Nov. 1, 2025, creating a new independent Seniors’ Advocate who will represent and advocate on behalf of seniors in Manitoba.
The hiring process for this new independent Seniors’ Advocate has begun, and EngageMB wants to hear from you!
The independent advocate will report to the legislative assembly and be tasked with identifying and evaluating issues faced by seniors and elders and making recommendations to the government. These recommendations could be on a wide range of government services including health care, housing and government programs and supports.
