Seniors can maximize their independence and wellness by attending the Seniors Safety Expo happening today in Shaunavon.

The expo goes from 9:30 to 3:00pm at the Crescent Point Wickenheiser Centre and includes pre-registered health screenings for seniors.

"Seniors actually rotate through a number of professional booths, and they spend ten minutes with each professional discussing their individual wellness and health," said Team Co-ordinator Jody Rice. "The other portion of the event is actually a come-and-go expo. The expo will be also professionals representing the Cypress Health Region. There will be booths set up for people just to browse."

Booths available include healthy eating, senior safety, vision care and pain relief and vitamins.

Lunch is free from 11:00am to 1:00pm, and there will be snacks and door prize draws available as well.
