Senior Commons will hold a free seminar about veterans' benefits on Tuesday, May 17, at 6 p.m. Kevin Smyers, deputy director of Veterans Affairs (VA), County of York, will be the presenter. He will discuss the Aid and Attendance pension benefit available to qualifying wartime veterans and their spouses. This pension is different from the VA's compensation benefit.

A free caregivers' support group meeting will take place on Thursday, May 19, at 6 p.m. During last month's meeting, attendees participated in a hands-on dementia simulation.
