The Minisewin-Waska Resource Centre, in The Pas, Manitoba, at 209 Fischer Avenue, is currently providing in-person help for community members who want to join the federal dental care plan. Residents can drop by the centre during regular business hours to get free assistance with their applications, eligibility questions, and the enrollment process.
The Canada Dental Care Plan is a federal program that helps pay for dental services for residents who have a lower family income. It is specifically designed for people who do not already have private dental insurance through work or other plans.
The resource centre is located directly across from the Giant Tiger store on Fischer Avenue. Staff members are available to guide people through the signup process to ensure that local families can access the health benefits they are entitled to receive.
To qualify for the program, residents must have active tax filings from recent years. This local support is intended to help those who may find the online registration portal difficult to navigate or for residents who do not have access to a computer at home.
