Good afternoon, and thank you to the members of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities for inviting us to speak today. We applaud your efforts in undertaking this study on advancing inclusion and quality of life for Canadian seniors.
Our comments today will focus on the first theme: how to improve access to housing for seniors and, in particular, support seniors aging in place.
I'm Nicola MacNaughton, an occupational therapist and the president of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, or CAOT.
