Ontario Building More Accessible Communities

July 4, 2025

• With the launch of the EASE Grant, we are taking action to ensure more seniors and people with disabilities can participate fully in their communities.
• EASE grants will provide municipalities, non-profit organizations and Indigenous governing bodies funding for capital projects and retrofits that help older adults and people with disabilities participate in community life.
  • Examples of potential projects include installing charging stations for mobility devices, installing mobility mats at beaches and building accessible washrooms at parks.
• To protect seniors, our government is also investing in a historic number of community programs and active living centres that support healthy and socially connected living.
• Applications for EASE Grants are now open at Ontario.ca/GetFunding. Eligible organizations have until August 14, 2025, to submit their applications. 
• Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government will continue to protect Ontario by investing in infrastructure projects that create jobs and allow people to live healthy and active lifestyles.
