United Way Canada has developed an interactive map to illustrate the scale and scope of local funding disbursements made through the New Horizons Seniors Program.
When the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessary lock-down measures disrupted community services, Canadian seniors who depend on those services for support became increasingly vulnerable and isolated. On March 29, to provide immediate essential services to seniors during the pandemic, the Government of Canada announced a grant of $9 million under the New Horizons Seniors Program to be distributed through United Way Centraide network.
Locally, the United Way SIBC developed the COVID-19 Response and Relief Fund, partially funded by the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program, and allocated those funds to charities supporting seniors in our region.
