Seniors grants available
Ontario is now accepting applications for the 2016 Seniors Community Grant Program to help more seniors stay active and engaged in their communities.
The province is investing $2 million to support not-for-profit community projects that increase volunteerism, social inclusion and community engagement for seniors.
Launched in 2014, the Seniors Community Grant Program aims to reduce social isolation that can have negative effects on seniors’ quality of life. Since its launch, the program has supported 544 projects, helping close to 116,000 seniors participate in their communities.
For information and application forms go to the Ontario Seniors Secretariat website at www.ontario.ca/seniors.
