$17 million increase over 3 years plus 100 new Seniors Active Living Centres next year
SCARBOROUGH, 6 December— Minister Raymond Cho announced that the Ontario government announced the largest single year expansion for Seniors Active Living Centres in its history. Ontario is increasing funding by $17 million dollars to expand services and activities and up to 100 new Seniors Active Living Centre (SALC) programs over the next year.
Joined by his Scarborough colleagues MPP Vijay Thanigasalam, MPP Aris Babikian, MPP David Smith and MPP Patrice Barnes, Minister Cho made the announcement at the Malvern Family Resource Centre in Scarborough today.
“This is the largest single year investment in Seniors Active Living Centres, by any government in Ontario’s history,” said Raymond Cho, Minister for Seniors and Accessibility and MPP for Scarborough North. “This shows Premier Ford and our entire government’s commitment to our seniors so they can stay fit, active, healthy, socially connected, stay in their own homes and in their communities.”
In its 2024 Fall Economic Statement, the government announced an investment of up to $17 million over three years expands access to services for seniors in underserved communities, as well as those with disabilities.
“This historic investment in our seniors will increase the amount of services and activities all across Ontario,” said Minister Raymond Cho.“Premier Ford and our government are committed to making sure our seniors stay engaged in our communities and stay active and healthy each and every day.”
This increases the number of SALCs across Ontario from 316 up to 416.
They could now include municipalities, non-profit corporations, registered charities, Indigenous groups, Legions, Lions Clubs and recreational clubs.
The new programs will initially be drawn through the 2024-25 SALC call for proposals issued on July 16, with a possibility for additional programs being added in future calls. More on this to come in the new year.
