The Hamilton Council on Aging is a senior-driven organization that was founded in 2006 by a group of concerned citizens. The Council is a non-profit, voluntary organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of all seniors in Hamilton.
The Council on Aging exists to educate and advocate for improved aging experiences for older adults through a collaborative network of individuals and organizations.
The Council on Aging depends on volunteer time and effort given by seniors, community representatives, professionals and their agencies.
Get Involved! If you are interested in learning more about the Council, becoming a member, volunteer or if have ideas or concerns, we want to hear from you!
We believe the community is enhanced by the wisdom, experience and participation of older adults.
The Hamilton Council on Aging offers a number of recommendations to improve the accessibility of grocery stores and pharmacies in Hamilton. While we recognize that some CHEC standards may exceed the requirements of city by-laws, building codes or the forthcoming Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) built environment standards, they are consistent with features of an age-friendly city.
