Educating immigrant seniors about financial abuse

Groups working with the elderly in British Columbia estimate that one in 12 seniors in the province experiences some form of financial abuse. But they say, because of language and cultural barriers, awareness of the problem in ethnic communities lags behind that of the general population. Last fall, a project was launched in Vancouver to try to help remedy that situation. West Coast reporter Lorn Curry attended the launch, and prepared this report which we're re-broadcasting today.
