New Horizons for Seniors Program

The $9M fund to support vulnerable seniors announced by the Federal Government under the New Horizons Seniors Program (March 29, 2020) was distributed through the United Way Centraide network for investment in senior-serving agencies in communities across Canada providing urgent support to isolated seniors dealing with the impact of COVID-19 measures. Locally, UWCNEO worked closely with our community to identify needs, and to deploy resources efficiently and effectively.
