Expanding Support for Seniors

This government is working for the Ontario seniors who have built this province so they can live comfortably and with dignity.

By expanding and annually indexing the GAINS program, this government is providing financial support to more vulnerable low-income seniors and ensuring that when their costs rise due to inflation, our support also increases.

Announced as part of the 2023 Budget: Building a Strong Ontario, the proposed expanded GAINS program would begin in July 2024.

This government is also investing close to $1 million over 3 years to expand the Seniors Safety Line, a 24/7 helpline for seniors experiencing or at risk of elder abuse.

By working for workers, keeping costs down, and providing better services, the government is building a strong Ontario that is working for seniors, families, and businesses.
