At our February meeting, Sarah Bercier gave
an enthusiastic outline of the role and the activities provided by the
Council on Aging. With over 240,000 seniors in Ottawa, there is a need
for a strong voice represent our growing demographic. Sarah mentioned
that both advocacy and education were key elements of their program.
Almost everything in the city affects seniors, be it transportation,
housing, services, facilities and more. The Council on Aging offers a
Smart Aging program as well as individual workshops on a variety of
topics. More information can be found at www.coa.ca
