Did you know that over 20% of seniors live alone in Oakville?

For some seniors, this can be problematic.  It can lead to loneliness, isolation, and even poor living conditions.   We believe that supporting programs that help to maintain independence in seniors, helps them to remain in their own homes and live full and rewarding lives.  This funding priority supports services that focus on quality of life not only for seniors, but for their caregivers also.
