The Royal Canadian Legion is actively involved in
seniors' issues and advocates for their care and
support
As Canada’s Veterans and a significant segment of the Canadian population age into their senior years, there is
a need to ensure programs, services and supports are in place to address the issues and challenges that face
our aging population.
Primary advocacy position(s) on this issue:
• The implementation of a national Seniors Independence Program in Canada would assist seniors to live
independently in their own homes and communities for as long as they are able. This will alleviate the current
stresses on an already overburdened system with an increasing senior demographic.
