Improve opportunities for vulnerable people, including seniors, immigrants and people with disabilities, to contribute fully to their communities.
Making sure that people can become or remain connected to community makes good sense. It enables human potential, helping people lead richer lives and reducing the costs of social supports. To strengthen connections to community, we are focusing our efforts in four areas: ensuring that more seniors have the supports they need to age in their own homes; decreasing the unemployment and underemployment of immigrants and new Canadians; connecting people with disabilities to meaningful employment opportunities, and increasing the number of people working together to improve their own neighbourhoods.
