Igniting Change
It is an unprecedented time for the seniors’ sector in Ontario. A burgeoning older adult population is straining the province’s capacity and bringing new demands and expectations for how, where and when seniors want to receive care and services.
As we enter our 100th anniversary year, we must build on our century of experience and expertise and lead the change the sector needs.
With this five-year plan, we are poised and energized to meet this challenge. The three strategic directions and the specific actions that support them envision a future for our Association that is bold and ambitious.
