“Strengthening Community-Based Seniors’ Services in Northern Ontario”: An Ideas Exchange Session

Venue: The Valhalla Hotel & Conference Centre, 1 Valhalla Inn Rd, Thunder Bay, ON P7E 6J1
Please join us for an in-person, Regional Consultation focused on strengthening the community-based seniors’ services (CBSS) sector. With support from HelpAge Canada, we’re hosting conversations across the country, to learn from ‘grassroots’ organizations and service professionals working to support older adults. We want to hear from YOU: what’s working well, what more is needed and how, together, we can build a stronger, more connected sector. This Northern Ontario session will bring together Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders, community organizations and service providers invested in supporting older adults, to help them age well and safely in the community.
