TORONTO, ONTARIO, February 1, 2008 — The Honourable Marjory LeBreton, Leader of the Government in the Senate and Secretary of State (Seniors), on behalf of the Honourable Monte Solberg, Minister of Human Resources and Social Development, today announced funding for 281 projects under the New Horizons for Seniors Program, to ensure seniors in Ontario have the opportunity to participate and take an active leadership role within their communities.
Speaking at the Villa Colombo Services for Seniors , Secretary of State LeBreton announced total funding of $6,014,538 which will benefit 112 communities throughout Ontario . This includes $25,000 in funding to the Villa Colombo Community Education and Wellness Centre project in Toronto.
“Our seniors have given so much to our country and our communities,” said Secretary of State LeBreton. “They have worked hard all their lives and deserve our support. The Government of Canada recognizes that seniors have helped to build this country and want to continue to make it a better place to live.”
In the 2007 federal budget, the Government of Canada announced an additional investment of $10 million per year for two new components of the New Horizons for Seniors Program: to raise awareness of elder abuse, and to provide capital assistance for upgrades to facilities and equipment used for existing seniors’ programs. Projects funded under these new components will be announced in the spring of 2008.
The federal government is also acting to address the needs of Canada ’s seniors through the introduction of a series of important measures that include:
establishing the National Seniors Council to advise the government on issues of importance to older Canadians;
enabling 1.6 million low-income seniors to benefit from increased monthly benefits available under the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and to make a one-time application for the GIS. As long as they file income tax returns every year, they will never have to reapply;
providing more than $1 billion in tax relief to Canadian seniors and pensioners in Budget 2007 ;
enabling seniors to build their retirement savings in Registered Pension Plans and Registered Retirement Savings Plans for an extra two years until age 71;
raising the amount seniors can claim under the age credit on their tax returns for 2007. With less income taxed, seniors save more.
Since its beginning, the New Horizons for Seniors Program has funded over 2,600 projects across Canada , inspiring seniors to bring their leadership, energy and skills to projects that benefit their communities.

backgrounder New Horizons for Seniors Program
Across Canada , the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) helps to ensure that seniors are able to benefit from and contribute to the quality of life in their community through their social participation and active living. This is achieved through funding of community projects that help seniors share their skills, wisdom and experience to benefit others, while reducing their social isolation.
Building on the success of the NHSP, in Budget 2007, the Government of Canada increased the Program’s budget by $10 million per year to provide capital assistance for repairs to facilities and equipment related to existing seniors’ programs, and to raise awareness of elder abuse across Canada . This has increased the total budget for the NHSP to $35 million per year.
As a result, the Program now offers three types of funding to organizations:
Pre-existing component
Community Participation and Leadership Funding: This funding supports community-based projects across Canada . The projects encourage seniors to continue to play an important role in their communities by helping those in need, providing leadership and sharing their knowledge and skills with others.
New funding components
Capital Assistance Funding: This funding will help non-profit organizations that need to upgrade facilities or equipment used for existing seniors’ programs and activities. It will enable seniors to continue to lead active lives by participating in existing programs and activities in their communities.
Elder Abuse Awareness Funding: This funding will help non-profit organizations and coalitions raise awareness of the abuse of older adults on a national or regional level. Through this funding, new educational and awareness resources about elder abuse will be available to improve quality of life, safety and security for seniors.
