Welcome
Seniors, commonly defined as persons 65 years of age or older represent the fastest growing segment of the Canadian population. Today they number about 4 million and they comprise 25 % of the Canadian population. In their lifetimes, Canada’s seniors have contributed enormously to our country’s well-being.

Sincerely,
