Seniors make significant and valuable contributions to their families, communities, and society. Our government remains committed to empowering organizations that help seniors stay active and engaged in their communities.

The Government of Canada has launched the call for proposals for community-based projects through the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). The deadline to submit applications is November 1, 2022.

The New Horizons for Seniors Program funding creates opportunities for seniors to be more connected, supported, and active members of their communities. This year’s national priorities aim to focus on:

• Supporting healthy aging;
• Preventing elder abuse;
• Celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion; and
• Helping seniors age in place.

What’s offered by the 2022-2023 call for proposals?

• One application stream: Community-based projects are eligible to receive up to $25,000 in grant funding. New applicants and organizations that have not been funded in the past five years are encouraged to apply.
• To simplify the application process and provide funds to communities more rapidly, organizations will need to complete and submit their application online.

For more Information on this call for proposals, contact New Horizons for Seniors Program - Community-based projects by visiting the Canada.ca website or contact Dan Ruimy, our Director of Constituency Operations at (604) 501-5900 or email [email protected].
