As the city filed it

The City of Toronto is developing a third Toronto Seniors Strategy to better support aging in place, particularly for seniors who are Indigenous, Black, and who belong to equity-deserving groups. The City of Toronto will be implementing a community consultation process to enhance the City's understanding of the priorities of seniors and older adults in Toronto. These consultations will be a key input into the development of the next Toronto Seniors Strategy.
