Message from Disabilities Issue Office (DIO)- Government of Manitoba Proposed Customer Services Accessibility Standard
Hello,
I am pleased to notify you that The Government of Manitoba
Proposed Customer Service Accessibility Standard is posted and available for
public comment at the Disabilities Issues Office website, www.gov.mb.ca/dio
Customer Service is the first area of standard development under The
Accessibility for Manitobans Act. When
it is established as a regulation, the Customer Service Accessibility
Standard will apply to the Manitoba Government, the broader public sector, and
the private and not-for-profit sectors.
On
October 3, 2014, the Accessibility Advisory Council (Council), the body
responsible for the development of accessibility standards, submitted its
recommendations for an Accessibility Standard for Customer Service to the
Minister. The recommendations were the result of a nine month process
involving background research, a discussion paper, public consultations, and
the Council’s review and consideration of the comments and submissions it
received.
The
Government’s Proposed Accessibility Standard for Customer Service is based on
the Council’s recommendations. It is available for public comment for
next 60 days. On May 11, 2015, the Minister, in consultation with the
Council, will review all comments received. If the minister considers it
appropriate, the proposed standard may be revised before forwarding it to
Cabinet for final approval, when it will be established as a
regulation.
You
are invited to provide written submission and briefs. Please forward your
comments to dio@gov.mb.ca Please notify the DIO if
you require an alternate format or method of communication.

Fraud Awareness Month- Tip to Consider from Winnipeg Police Services
Monday,
March 23, 2015
Fraud Awareness Month – Tips to Consider
The Winnipeg Police Service recognizes that some of our most vulnerable citizens at risk of becoming victims of fraud are seniors. Because of this, the Winnipeg Police Service is dedicating this week of Fraud Prevention Month to raising awareness for fraudsroutinely being perpetrated against seniors.
One of the common scams is the “Grandparent Emergency” scam. In this scam a person calls a senior and while acting very panicked asks “Grandma” or “Grandpa” for money to help with a problem. “The problem” is often legal, where a fine and lawyer fees need to be paid. The senior then sends money by a money transfer service. The money is then picked up by the fraudster and cannot be recovered. The best way to prevent this is open communication. Call your family and ask if your relative is in trouble.
As a senior, there are many ways that you can protect yourself from frauds and scams. Remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Here are some other helpful tips to consider:
- Don’t be afraid to say NO.
- Take time to collect more
information before making a decision.
- Ask advice from someone you
trust.
- Make sure all your questions
are answered.
- Don’t feel pressured into
committing before you have a chance to think things over or collect
additional information.
- Don’t give out any personal
information to anyone you do not know or trust.
- Ignore and delete suspicious
emails asking for money transfers or personal information.
Don’t forget about our main event this Fraud Prevention Month, a FREE shredding event at St. Vital Centre on March 27, 2015 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Look for the Shred-It van in the parking lot.
Further information on fraud prevention may be found at “A Winnipeg Minute, for March 2015”:
