City of Ottawa-Services for Seniors

Seniors play an important role in the life of our community. As our population ages, the City is responding to the needs of seniors in many ways – by working on the range of housing options open to them, providing more options to help them remain independent in their homes and in their communities, improving transportation, promoting healthy active living, looking at how we communicate with seniors and their caregivers, and encouraging seniors participation.
