You can now apply for funding through our New Horizons for Seniors Grant!

Our federal program provides funding for local projects designed by seniors to help seniors be empowered, healthy, and active in our community. Through this fund we have supported educational seminars, weekly social programs, cooking classes, and more projects that are supporting seniors living in Mississauga-Erin Mills. Eligible organizations can apply to receive a grant of up to $25,000 for your project that aligns with one of four national priorities:

• Priority 1: Supporting healthy aging 
• Priority 2: Preventing senior abuse  
• Priority 3: Celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion,  
• Priority 4: Supporting financial security 

For more information, and to apply online, I encourage you to visit the website: New Horizons for Seniors – Community-based projects - funding program - Canada.ca.

You may reach out to the department to attend an information session, or contact my office if you have any questions.

-- UPDATE --

Please be aware that, due to the wildfire situation in Nova Scotia impacting services, the deadline to apply for this program has been extended to September 28th, 2023.
