Description

The Seniors Active Living Centres (SALC) Program provides approved SALC operators with annual funding for approved SALC programs to deliver activities and services to older adults and seniors across Ontario.

SALC programs promote wellness, social interaction, and education to help seniors stay fit, active, healthy and socially connected in their communities. SALC operators are encouraged to continue to offer remote or virtual programing.

  • connect older adults with community programs and services
  • provide programing opportunities for seniors in underserved communities or to underserved populations
  • promote the inclusion of all seniors, including those with disabilities, by reducing accessibility barriers to programs and services
