Community consultation

Older adult demographics, needs and resources have changed considerably since 2012. To reflect the findings from the Evaluation Report and to understand the needs of Ottawa’s older adults, City staff consulted and engaged with residents and community agencies from June to the end of September 2024.

Approximately 1,300 individuals participated in the consultations, resulting in approximately 7,000 ideas, suggestions and comments from residents and community agencies. Thank you to everyone who provided their input during the consultation period and the community partners who helped us.

The What We Learned Report summarizes the findings and the next steps for the development of the Older Adult Plan 2025-2030.
