Madam Speaker, we know that helping our growing senior population is critical, particularly during COVID-19.
The New Horizons for Seniors program provides grants up to $25,000 for projects that help seniors age in place, stay healthy and remain connected. We have funded over 3,000 projects across Canada this past year, including some great ones in my riding of Cambridge, like the Islamic Centre of Cambridge, Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank, Good Neighbour Community Garden, Fairview Mennonite Homes, Townline Muslim Centre, Kinbridge, Fiddlesticks and Alison Neighbourhood Associations, and the Preston Lawn Bowling Club.
Everyone in the House should remind their communities that the New Horizons for Seniors program is open for applications right now and up until December 21.
We must all help our seniors-focused organizations apply and help all Canadian seniors to stay connected, happy and healthy.
