As a bilingual and inclusive Council, we bring together representatives of older adult groups, community partners, government organizations, the business community, and individuals whose diverse backgrounds, extensive experience and expertise enable our Council to undertake quality strategic thinking on older adult issues.
Our board and committees are comprised of a minimum of 50% older adults and 20% francophone. We welcome interest from all who are representative of the population we serve.
