Links

The World Wide Web has become an valuable source of information. What makes it such an important resource is the user's ability to move from one site to another via hyperlinks (links). 

The following links are ones that might prove useful to seniors generally and especially to those living in Sarnia-Lambton. Many of these sites have 'Links" pages of their own. The list is far from complete and if anyone knows of others sites that will be of more use to seniors, please contact the LSA.

Your feedback about these web sites would be much appreciated. If you find "broken" links, please contact the LSA.
