*Sent in by a site visitor:
"The OCD of Manitoba is a information centre. I have their brochures
which state you just call the fire or health department or go get a
referral from a family doctor for your sick friend. I was informed
by a staff person at the Age and Opportunity office in Winnipeg that
she works with the Public Trustee office (Province of Manitoba). I ask
about their services and she told me we help sometime with cleaning
depending who the person is.
Thank you!
