Ontario Helping Seniors Stay Healthy and Independent

June 17, 2025
  • The Seniors Community Grant Program is a critical lifeline in every corner of our province for seniors to learn new skills, get fit, enjoy group activities and stay connected to their neighbours and friends.
  • SCGP recipients can receive up to $25,000 to support local programs, services and events to provide seniors with opportunities for greater social inclusion, volunteerism and community engagement.
    • This year’s investment includes an additional $1 million, specifically for programs dedicated to improving the quality of life for senior veterans.
  • Our government is also expanding Seniors Active Living Centres (SALCs) to over 400 sites to increase access to services that connect seniors to activities and programs close to home.
    • The centres promote wellness, encourage social interaction, and combat ageism to help seniors stay active, independent and engaged within their communities.
  • Finally, we are supporting the over 100 Seniors Active Living Fairs expected to take place in 2025-26 which will provide more opportunities for seniors to learn about supports and resources in their community. 
  • Amid economic uncertainty and rising costs, Premier Ford and our government are proud to protect our seniors and ensure they have access to affordable and reliable community supports.
