Virtual information sessions with local riding candidates

Ottawa Branch volunteers and staff are working hard to ensure that local candidates are aware of critical seniors’ issues. We also want to give our members an opportunity to hear where candidates stand on these issues.

As a result, the Branch is collaborating with the Ottawa chapter of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) and the Council on Aging of Ottawa to hold eight Virtual Information Sessions with Local Candidates – one in each Ottawa riding – that all our members can attend.

Each session will last 60 minutes and be held via Zoom. Local candidates will have five minutes each to address these topics:

• National seniors strategy with dedicated funding and accountability goals • Enforced principles and national standards for long-term care • Adequate funding for home care to improve health outcomes and reduce costs

To register for the session in your electoral district, click on the district name below.
