Toronto Seniors' Forum

The City of Toronto is committed to supporting seniors and older adult residents as they grow older in Toronto. Members of the Toronto Seniors’ Forum (Forum) provide input and feedback to City staff on municipal programs, policies and initiatives.

We encourage applications from residents who reflect the diversity of our city. This includes seniors and older adults from Indigenous, Black, 2SLGBTQI+, newcomer, and low-income communities, and those with lived experience of homelessness. We are also looking for applicants from neighbourhoods throughout Toronto.
