Abstract
Community Links conducted a project in 2009-2010, funded by the Nova Scotia Gaming Foundation, to explore some issues around seniors and gambling. The three methods used to obtain information on this issue were: a survey sent to 190 senior leaders and senior-serving organizations, 5 focus groups made up of 41 seniors and a review of the literature on seniors and gambling. The underlying purpose of this work was to explore the extent to which gambling is considered a serious issue for seniors in our province.
