“Canadian seniors have played a central part in building this country,” said MP Falk. “They deserve our support to help them enjoy the best quality of life possible and our government continues to translate that support into grassroots initiatives such as the New Horizons for Seniors Program.”
The Government of Canada is seeking applications for projects that will help Canadian seniors use their leadership abilities, skills and experience to continue to make a difference in their communities. Organizations may receive up to $25,000 in grant funding. Projects must address one or more of the program’s five objectives: volunteering, mentoring, expanding awareness of elder abuse, social participation and capital assistance.
Our Government is committed to ensuring that the “golden years” of our seniors are truly “golden,” added Falk. “With programs like New Horizons for Seniors we will continue to meet the needs of seniors, now and into the future.”
The call for proposals will close on Friday, July 4, 2014.
