The Toronto Seniors' Forum members identified five priority areas to address. These priorities were further refined after a wider community consultation process. .

In the area of housing and accommodation and long-term care, Toronto City Council should:

• Increase affordable housing for seniors with targets to reduce waiting times
• Increase efforts to modify, restore and repair existing properties
• Increase the available stock of barrier-free housing
• Increase the number of long-term care homes
• Ensure that long-term care services are provided in a culturally sensitive manner.

• Adequately fund translation services according to demographics (i.e., largest language groups)
• Lower the cost of the seniors' TTC pass
• Increase the availability of transportation for non-medical appointments
• Provide recreation programming without fees
• Reduce the fees for seniors' groups providing programming in recreation centres.

In the area of health, environment and culturally sensitive services, Toronto City Council should:

• Provide a full range of dental care for low-income seniors
• Review and raise the current financial cut-offs for access to subsidized dental care.

• Increase the Toronto Police Service program to educate seniors about telephone and other types of fraud
• Increase community programs that encourage communities and neighbours to watch out for seniors
• Increase the oversized street sign program.

• Increase opportunities for seniors to take part and advocate, through initiatives like the Toronto Seniors' Forum
• Increase leadership/advocacy training opportunities for seniors
• Provide honorariums
• Encourage seniors to volunteer in their communities.
