The number of senior Ontarians is quickly growing, and it is estimated that, by 2041, 25% of the population in Ontario will be 65 and over - almost doubling since 2016. In response to this, as well as other factors, the Ontario Government has decided to implement new programs as part of the 2018 provincial budget to further assist seniors, those 65 years of age and older.
In doing so, the provincial government is attempting to improve the life of seniors and help them to remain in their homes longer.
