The OACAO has received a three year grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to conduct research on Older Adult Centres in Ontario.

The study, Building Bridges to Tomorrow, is designed to determine the issues older adults and their organizations face today, and to examine the strategies these organizations may use to cope with the dramatic increase in the projected 55+ population in Ontario.

Goals of the Project

  1. To strengthen the role of OACAO in being a leader for Older Adult Centres in Ontario
  2. To enhance the range of programs and services offered to members of OACAO
  3. To promote the role of Older Adult Centres in contributing to the health and well being of older adults in Ontario
  4. To explore the future trends that will impact on Older Adult Centres
    Over the next three years, OACAO will be conducting a number of activities to meet these goals including:
    • Key Information Interviews
    • Profile of Older Adult Centres in Ontario
    • Focus Groups
    • Centres of Interest Study: A survey of 5,000 seniors in Ontario
