T Celebrating seniors by providing for their needs we need to update this program. That's why earlier this month, we introduced new legislation to better support seniors' programs in the 21st century. Community Grant Program. First grant program dedicated to seniors This is the first grant program in Ontario dedicated solely to seniors and encourages greater social inclusion, volunteerism, education, and community engagement. I've been pleased to see a number of seniors organizations in Oakville successfully bid for this wonderful grant. Please contact my office at 905-827-5141 for more information about seniors programs or to get the free Seniors Guide, which features information on provincial and federal programs and services available for seniors. --The Hon. Kevin Flynn is the MPP for Oakville and the Minister of Labour for Ontario. He has been the MPP for Oakville since he was first elected in 2003. 7 | Friday, June 17, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com his month marks the 32nd anniversary of Seniors' Month in Ontario, and it's an opportunity to celebrate and honour the contributions that seniors make every day in communities across this province. This year's theme is `Seniors Making a Difference,' and it couldn't be more true about the seniors in Oakville. The dedicated and vibrant seniors in our town have contributed their time and talent in so many special ways to our community. Our seniors really do make a difference. Ontario's smart investments into programs and services, geared specifically to the needs and interests of seniors, enable Oakville seniors to continue to lead healthy, active lives and stay connected in the communities they helped to build. And that's good news for Oakville seniors. Kevin Flynn Ontario Minister of Labour/ Oakville MPP For example, our Elderly Persons Centres play an important role in providing extraordinary programs and services to our seniors. But a recent review of the centres told us Bill would cut red tape: Flynn This bill, if passed, would cut red tape to give the program more flexibility, helping it to be responsive to the needs of local seniors. The legislation would foster these centres as community hubs that provide a central access point for a range of health, social and cultural services for seniors. It would also give the Elderly Persons Centres program a new name, the Seniors Active Living Centres Program, to better reflect the modern programming they offer to help keep seniors healthy, active and engaged.
