Halifax Council on Aging meets to plan 2026 programs while addressing facility constraints. Chair Jean Gallant and Council on Aging Director Darlene Regan led discussion of upcoming activities including Social Security assistance March 5, a Comedy Hour February 11, and grief counseling classes, plus blood pressure checks and an American Red Cross presentation. The board recognized community partnerships with the North River Collaborative, Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, Holmes Library, and local businesses for volunteer support and facility access.
