Icy steps and slippery sidewalks can make getting around difficult as winter approaches.

A free winter fall prevention presentation on October 28 will offer advice on staying safe, with a focus on older adults.

Penny Byer says family members and neighbours can help by keeping entrances clear.

The presentation starts at 1:30, and residents can request a link to participate from home.
