Atta boy Swifty. You're a good man.

Getting someone to lend a hand at the present is good but in the long term I would strongly suggest that you look into and contact Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). There are a lot of programs set up to help our aging and/or disabled Vets that you and he obviously know nothing about. Your Dad should be able to get his driveway and walkway shoveled for free as well as a lot of other maintenance throughout the year. If you can't find the info on their website send me a pm and I'll find it for you.

Do it!

Yes get them this information and this can be a long term solution. I informed my dad on this after I retired and they have assistance so share this information with them and it will not allow a wanker to take advantage of them again!

My grandpa is a ww2 vet and is 84 an still does all his own housework. I don't think anybody that fought and bled for this country should have to struggle for anything, good for the veterans affairs to have these good programs. I'm happy to pay taxes for this kind of thing.

Let me know if you still need it done. Send me the address I can go do it for them.

[Hunterofbeasts]

Send me a PM. I will help

I don't know, I'm not a member. It's on my list of things to do but I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. I plan on being a non-participating member and only joining to throw my support behind it monetarily.
