Government of Canada announces call for proposals for community-based projects supporting seniors

Seniors make significant and valuable contributions to their families, communities and society. That is why the Government of Canada remains committed to empowering all Canadians, including seniors, to contribute to and share in the prosperity of the country. In support of this commitment, the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, announced today, the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) 2018-2019 call for proposals for Community-based Projects. Programs like NHSP not only encourage seniors to stay involved in their community, but also increase their social participation and inclusion. This is key to enhancing their well-being and quality of life, as well as to enable them to stay active and share their knowledge, skills and experience with other community members.
