Ontario is home to about 1.6 million seniors – 40 percent of Canada’s seniors population. By 2028, the number of senior citizens in Ontario will double.

The Ontario Seniors’ Secretariat works to improve the qualify of life for Ontario’s seniors by:

1. Developing policies and programs that meet the needs of seniors and help them lead active, healthy and dignified lives
2. Advising on the development of policies and programs across government on behalf of seniors
3. Providing seniors with the information they need about vital programs and services, healthy lifestyles, and aging
4. Promoting the important contributions seniors make to families, communities, and the province of Ontario
5. Maintaining close working relationships with seniors organizations across the province.

On this website you can learn about:

1. Our programs and services for seniors

You can also find information for seniors and resources, and a listing of news and events of interest to seniors in communities across the province.
