For the first time in history, there are now more Torontonians over the age of 65 than children aged 15 and below. By 2031, one-quarter of the City’s population will be over the age of 60. Recognizing the significant policy, service and resource implications of this demographic shift, Toronto City Council adopted the Toronto Seniors Strategy 2.0 on May 22, 2018.
The Care Partners Perspective Toolkit can be used by health care providers to understand the complexities of the caregiver role and to ensure they are adapting a person-centred, caregiver lens in program planning, quality improvement and service delivery.
Following direction from Council in 2015 to develop Toronto’s Seniors Strategy (TSS) Version 2.0, the Toronto Seniors Strategy Accountability Table was created. The role of the Seniors Strategy Accountability Table is to co-create the recommendations with City staff on an equal footing.
The Accountability Table is made up of over 75 members from all sectors related to ageing and seniors issues in Toronto including seniors, caregivers, community agencies serving seniors, advocacy, equity and diversity organizations, academic and research partners, community funders, local businesses, school boards, hospitals, long-term care homes, and the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network.
