Recognizing the significant policy, service and resource implications of Toronto’s growing senior population, the City of Toronto adopted and implemented the first and second Toronto Seniors Strategies.

Toronto’s senior population is growing and increasingly diverse, with evolving priorities for aging in place. Aging in place describes the ability to live safely, independently, and comfortably in your own home or community for as long as you are able. It involves having access to health and social support services.

Developing the next Toronto Seniors Strategy

The City of Toronto is developing a third Toronto Seniors Strategy to better support aging in place, particularly for seniors who are Indigenous, Black, and who belong to equity-deserving groups.

The City of Toronto will be implementing a community consultation process to enhance the City’s understanding of the priorities of seniors and older adults in Toronto. These consultations will be a key input into the development of the next Toronto Seniors Strategy.

For more information, please contact seniors@toronto.ca.

In early 2025, this webpage will be updated with details on how to participate in Toronto Seniors Strategy consultations. There will be opportunities to participate in a public survey and in-person workshops that will shape the development of the Strategy.

Following the City-wide community consultations, the City will develop the next Toronto Seniors Strategy. More information will be shared on this webpage when it becomes available.
